Help with a certain dialogue.
Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me; I'm researching the secret garden for Uni and was wondering the dialogue in which mary says to colin, something about a boy with the universe down his throat?
My speakers are busted so I can't listen to any Audio clips!
Many thanks!
Secret Garden to Libertine
What a great story for a uni paper.
Francis Hodgson Burnett books make for movies that also inspire.
A while back I was talking with a friend and novelist back in the States. He had just published a great book, "The Smithy Miracles." My comment was that I loved books that inspired and uplifted and caused deep thought. I mentioned three favorite stories from books and then movies. Little Lord Fauntleroy, Little Princess (The Story of Sara Crew), and Secret Garden. All by Burnett.
This friend then told me he was friends with the granddaughter of Francis Hodgson Burnett. This granddaughter was a Christian Scientist and shared that it was her grandmother that introduced the family to Christian Science. And although some biographies claimed that Burnett was a spiritualist and studied spiritualism, that this was not accurate. She became a student of Christian Science.
That helped me understand the powerful messages of faith, healing, renewal, restoration etc. that come through her later writing.
Thought you might be interested.
All the Best,
