'The Secret Garden' is a timeless classic that has left generations of readers with warm, lifelong memories of its magical charms. This is a must-read for children and adults, especially if you missed out on this while growing up. There was a girl called Mary Lennox, she grew up in India, and was extremely fawned on by the servants, whose only job was to keep her quiet and out of the way of her parents. Suddenly, her parents die and she's sent to live with her uncle in England, a grumpy old man who happened to be mourning the loss of his wife. When orphaned Mary Lennox arrives at Misselthwaite Manor, her uncle's estate, everybody said she was the most disagreeable-looking child ever seen. Her uncle wants nothing to do with her. Lonely, spoiled Mary explores the manor and the garden, finding all sorts of hidden secrets as well as her own happiness.

A children‘s classic from 1911 based in England. Although a children‘s classic, it could be purported as a young adult classic. A lovely read with mysticism and spiritual gathering, including all the best elements life has to offer. Love, community, wisdom, books, and gardens shaping to display that how one perceives life is how one will experience it. Fill your mind with the positive elements of your life suffusing little room for the negative.

@5feet.of.fury thanks sweetie for the tag!!!#ThoughtfulThursday @MoonWitch94

Not really good at doing these. I always mean to do them, but #MomLife usually gets in the way.

I do tend to reread books becuz I have a really really bad memory! haha

Yes, cover art is usually a big factor for me when picking books, but lately I have been binging BookTube & adding tons of books to my Really Really LONG TBR.

P.S. Never actually read the tagged book!!

DuchessMerry I‘ve re-read The Harry Potter series I don‘t know how many times. I‘ve read A Walk to Remember whenever I need a good long ugly cry. Cover art only matters when browsing a physical space not online 3y
AkashaVampie @DuchessMerry I loved A Walk To Remember. One of my favorite quotes comes from there (well i guess it comes from the Bible). 3y

This classic tale of children, adults, rules, imagination and the quest for love and companionship is as ageless as this story. A lovely book that doesn't take too long to read...you can let your mind wander as you paint pictures in your mind about what the garden would look like. 🍃

nanuska_153 I simply adore this book ♥️ 3y
francescareads I like listening to the audiobook so I can hear the Yorkshire accent. 3y

Reading The Secret Garden with our son - it‘s such a treat to introduce him to my favourite stories. 😍 And I caved in and bought this beautiful edition as we didn‘t have a German one (and the kid doesn‘t speak much English yet). It was freakin‘ pricey but hey, it‘s my birthday next week so I‘ll consider it a gift to myself. 🤪

Myhusbandhatesreading It looks beautiful!! Hope you have a great birthday! 4y

When the weather is cold, bring back warm memories with an old favorite. Well written with children who definitely aren‘t overly angelic.

GypsyKat Beautiful edition! 😍 4y

My first #audiobook in 2020. Such a beautiful book, I wish I could have read it in my childhood.

Lots of #flowers in this book. The secret garden behind the wall was in full bloom after Mary, Dickon and Colin worked on the garden. This edition is illustrated by Lauren Child.
