| 2. | Burnett, Frances Hodgson The Secret Garden
Yearling July 1, 1990 Paperback
From School Library JournalGrade 3 Up Burnett's classic story of a disagreeable and self-centered little girl and her equally disagreeable invalid cousin is as real and wise andenthralling now as it was when it was first written over 75 years ago. Thestrength of her characterizations pulls readers into the story, and the depth inherent in the seemingly simple plot continues to make this sometimesforgotten story as vital to the maturation of young readers as Tom Sawyer and Little Women. Hague's illustrations enhance the story beautifully, capturing as they do, both the old-fashioned and timeless quality of the tale. The charm, clarity, and muted tones of Hague's paintings add dimension to each part of the tale. A reissue of an old classic to be treasured by a new generation of children (and their parents)!

The dramatization is performed by the St. Charles Players, whose members are listed, but details about the troupe and cast roles are omitted. This is unfortunate, since the narrator, who reads with the warm, lively quality of Angela Lansbury, deserves special kudos. The entire presentation is delightful for children and adults, being well scripted, tightly edited, nicely acted and expertly engineered. Music and audio e

The high walls which shut it in were covered with the leafless stems of roses which were so thick, that they matted together.... 'No wonder it is still,' Mary whispered. 'I am the first person who has spoken here for ten years.''' As new life sprouts from the earth, Mary and Colin's sour natures begin to sweeten. For anyone who has ever felt afraid to live and love, The Secret Garden's portrayal of reawakening spirits will thrill and rejuvenate.Frances Hodgson Burnett creates characters so strong and distinct, young readers continue to identify with them even 85 years after they were conceived.
