The Secret Garden (Collectible Clothbound Edition; Abbeville Illustrated Classics)

The Secret Garden tells the story of a girl who, when tragically orphaned, is sent to live with her uncle in a magnificent manor in the Yorkshire countryside. She discovers a garden tucked away in the manor’s grounds, and as the dilapidated garden transforms, so does the young girl. This book powerfully shows the healing power of nature in this beautiful clothbound edition, featuring the exquisite color illustrations by Charles Robinson (which appeared in the original British edition of 1911). A new introduction by Alice A. Carter, an expert on Golden Age illustration, discusses the earliest illustrators of Frances Hodgson Burnett’s timeless tale.
