I love it

I LOVE this book. I love when they speak Yorshire, it's so easy to read. I love the moors. that is all

I didnt enjoy the Secret Garden. IT bored me to death. I hope I never have to read such a horrible book again

I have been given ''The Secret Garden'' as a starting point for my performing arts individual module (where I have to perform on my own!) and I have been asked to develop it in whatever way I like. I don't have to use the book itself but I know that I would quite like to get inside one of the character's and perhaps use some monologue to describe how they really feel. I'd really appreciate it if anybody could give me some help in developing this module as I am at a total dead end for what exactly to do at the minute. Anyone with any sort of performing ideas please e-mail me at [email protected]!! Thank u xxx

I loved this book. It was so rejuvenating and hopeful. I love the feeling of the moors and the secrecy of the garden. Dickon is the embodiment of perfection, and Mary and Colin are trying to slowly grow like him. This story should be on every parent's bookshelf! I love the thought of the garden bringing everything together.

I had to read this book for school, and personally I never would have read it if we had not been made to, even though I always finish the book the teacher gives us before we even start it in school! It was really boring in the beginning but then later I loved it!!!!!!! The Yorkshire could get annoying sometimes because I like to read fast and I can't when I'm stumbling over words. So then we learned to speak Yorkshire! We must have sounded like Mary when she tried to speak Yorkshire to Dickon, well most of us sounded like that. Our team would speak Yorkshire to each other in the halls and the other team looked like we had gone crazy!!!!!!!! Reading the secret garden was great and we all loved it!!!!!!!! If you have never read the book I tell you no matter how boring the beginning may seem, keep reading!!!!!!!!!!! You won't regret it!!!!!!!!! Honest it gets really good after like the fifth chapter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CU L8R!!!!!!!!!!!! Tara

I'm in a production of The Secret Garden in Houston, playing the part of Mrs. Sowerby, and I'd just like to comment that The Secret Garden has become one of my favorite books and 1949 movie version is definitely very well made and acted. I only wish I could have seen The Secret Garden on Broadway.

I read this book for school and wrote an essay on it. I think it's an awesome novel and should be read by everyone! It has some great themes, and is easy to understand.

This is a great book for children to read. By reading this book, children can learn about other cultures, religions, and countries. They can see how different it is in England than in India. I recommend this book for children who like to read on their own. The adventures and excitement in this book really pulls you in. I think this was a great book, and that children need to read more adventurous book like this. Have a great time reading!

I vividly remember reading this book as a child. I started reading it reluctantly, mostly because my mother insisted. I found it slow going at first, because I wasn't interested in spoiled little Mary or her distant, meaningless parents. But then...I was lying on my bed when I read the part where the army officers find her. Mary's parents are both dead, all the servants have left...Mary is completely alone. The officer who speaks to her is blinking back tears at her plight. I sat bolt upright, nearly shaking with the enormity of it. That is the first time I remember being so completely moved by a book, being so completely taken out of myself. Obviously, it has stayed with me for all this time and taught me a lot about the power of words to move the reader, to transport to another time and place. Thanks for letting me share this memory.

I love this movie with Kate Maberly. The movie is just like how I always dreamed living. It gives you the feeling that anything is possible and that you can do anything you want as long as you believe.

Read more about "The Secret Garden" in a companion book: "Inside the Secret Garden," published by HarperCollins, Oct. 2002. It has a biography of the author and answers lots of questions readers have about the original book like where the "real" secret garden is located, what "doughcakes" and "oatcakes" that Mary, Colin, & Dickon enjoyed in their secret garden are and how to make them, the difference between an English robin and an American robin and some things to make to attract robins to your garden, how to make your own jump-rope like Mary's and some English rhymes to go with it, and lots more crafts and activities based on the book! It even has a glossary of Yorkshire terms (like "graidely" and "moithered") to explain how to pronounce them and what they mean. Beautiful illustrations, too. <br>

This book was alright--but I saw the movie before I read it--and it made it kinda boring cuz I knew what was gonna happen and my teacher was making me read it. I liked the Yorkshire accent. But the book still isnt that great.

i loved this book. it was full and was exciting to know what will happen next. i think you will love it!

I have read it and spanish, also in english. it was fabulous just I spend three days because, I was very interested in what was next. I really recomend it!

The Book is very interesting. I thought is was going to be a boring book, but it proved me wrong. It's great. I can't whait to read the rest of her books.
