SECRET GARDEN (EVERYMAN CHILDRENS CLASSICS) (HB)

This story of two spoilt and lonely children, whose happiness is regained as they bring to life a neglected garden, has become the best-loved of all Mrs. Burnett's books. Set in Yorkshire, inspired by the rose garden at Great Maytham Hall in Kent, where the author lived from 1898 to 1907. The story has many illustrators, but none has surpassed Charles Robinson who first created in his pictures the romantic and mysterious atmosphere of Misselthwaite Manor and the locked, forgotten garden.
