The Secret Garden

The Secret Garden (Illustrated and Annotated) (Literary Classics Collection) - Frances Hodgson Burnett

When I finished Saga, I had been doing mental count and thought that was probably my 200th book this year, therefore completing my challenge. After entering them in, I realized I had one more book. With this in mind, I could choose it.

 

I chose to read The Secret Garden as my 200th book. I loved the movie as a child and always wanted to read the book.

 

I recommend it. It's a great story of magic and friendship. I had seen the movie as a child, and the book follows it fairly closely. I don't remember Mary being so disagreeable at the beginning, but I think it worked to help her relate to Colin and help him.

 

I need to go watch the movie again.
