About this book

Unlock the enchantment of the timeless classic The Secret Garden with this beautiful hardcover edition that includes a charm necklace. There is nothing that orphaned Mary Lennox likes about her new home--her great uncle's house on the desolate Yorkshire Moors. The servants think she's a brat, her uncle locks himself away in his rooms, and she's sure that late at night she's heard the sound of crying from down one of the long corridors. But then Mary learns about a garden on the large manor grounds, one that has been locked and hidden for years. Mary sets out on a quest to find the secret garden, one that will introduce her to a host of new friends, including a robin redbreast, a kindhearted boy named Dickon, and her sickly cousin, Colin. But finding the garden is only the beginning. As Mary and her friends work to bring the garden back to life, they find themselves transformed by the magic of the garden as well. This hardcover keepsake edition with a charm is a lovely gift for holidays and other special occasions.

About Unknown Author

Frances Hodgson Burnett was best known as an English playwright and author. Frances Eliza Hodgson was born on November 24, 1849, at Cheetham Hill, Manchester, England, to Eliza Boond and Edwin Hodgson. She was the middle child of five, with two older brothers and two younger sisters. Frances grew up in a comfortable home. Mr. Hodgson sold brass goods to upper class households, and the family had a maid, a nurse-maid, and a horse and carriage. However, in the early 1850's when Frances was only three or four years old, her father died of a stroke, and the family was forced to sell their house and move. Her mother carried on the business, and Frances was often left in the care of her grandmother, who taught her to read. Her future as a writer might have begun here. When she was about sixteen, the family moved to Knoxville, Tennessee. From then until she was nineteen, Frances supported them by selling her stories to magazines. In September 1873, she married Swan Burnett. The couple moved to Paris for two years and had there two sons. In 1892, following the death her son Lionel from tuberculosis, Frances suffered severe depression. In 1898, she divorced Swan Burnett and remarried two years later; this second marriage only lasted a year. Frances settled in Long Island, New York, where she lived for the rest of her life. She died in 1924 and rests in Roslyn Cemetery in Greenvale, New York, next to her other son, Vivian.
