I guess The Secret Garden puts me a third of the way through this 100 challenge.

I found my way into The Secret Garden and I don't want to come out. The 999 challenge is doing a lot for my reading. I am becoming more eclectic.

... agree, 179 - we read to our kids every night - they got to choose the book - we read two - one for each - somehow we missed The Secret Garden, which I have now finished, but my daughter had a copy anyway, so I guess she found it on her own - I am glad for that and even if they don't care for ...

--> 174 I missed The Secret Garden as a kid, too. Fortunately, I had the great pleasure of reading it chapter by chapter to my kids (when they were young) at night as a bedtime book. I took the time then to read some great classics such as The Yearling (my favorite), The Adventures of Huck ...

Almost done with The Secret Garden. How did I ever miss these books when I was a kid. My mom was an avid reader; we were always at the library. I am glad my kids got them on their own and that I have no found them.

Cait, another good review. I have added A Perfect Gentle Knight to the TBR pile. I read A Secret Garden years ago when I was about 10 and I loved it then. I encouraged my daughter to read it a few years ago and she didn't think that much of it. I wonder if I would think the same if I reread ...

... is very pretty. Winterlight is such a hauntingly beautiful song. Cait I obtained a copy of The Little Princess and The Secret Garden today. I plan to read them soon. Thanks for your reviews.

I tried to read The Secret Garden a while ago since the 1993 film version is one of my all-time favorite movies, but I just couldn't get into it. I definitely recommend that movie version though, if you haven't seen it. It's the most beautiful "kid's movie" I've ever seen.

Book #36: The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett This was actually the first time I have ever read The Secret Garden; it is one of those books that I somehow missed as a child, despite loving A Little Princess. I am glad that I read it, as it is a well-known piece ...

... Schild's Ladder. The ending left me hanging and reading was a bit slow. It was OK, but I've read better. Now onto The Secret Garden and Bayonet! Forward! and maybe one other if I can find it in the library.

Almost finished with Schild's Ladder and have decided to read The Secret Garden - can't believe I had never read this before and I borrowed it from my daughter's bedroom. I will also read, at the same time, I am sure, Bayonet! Forward, another of Chamberlain's book s about Gettysburg,

... by Ariana Franklin which started out slow and jerky but is starting to get better. And I've been listening to The Secret Garden which I've watched numerous times but never actually read. It's wonderful!

I'm listening to The Secret Garden, the movie of which I've seen many times in many versions, but I've never read the book before. I'm loving it so far.

... The Terror right now and enjoying it, thought it's less scary than I expected. I'm also anxiously awaiting Drood and Secret Story from Amazon. Should be here any day now :)

Just finished up The Secret Garden -- a reread of a book I hadn't read since I was 9 years old. Actually, I am surprised that I was able to read it at that age -- the Yorkshire dialect was a bit hard for me to interpret now at the age of 32! This is a wonderful book and it's the perfect time ...

I started a re-read of The Secret Garden this week. Loving it (again!) so far and the edition I found has a lovely intro by Lois Lowry too.

Something about it being March and snowy made me want to pick up The Secret Garden for my next read. So there you have it!

I'm playing "catch-up" today. The Secret Garden is a long time favorite of mine--from childhood--with numerous rereads. Doomsday Book is a new favorite of mine--read it for the first time in January of this year and loved it. I like the parallel stories and especially the way it makes you ...

Thanks maggie :-) I love The Secret Garden missylc, it's one I reread on occasion, it has all the favourite elements of my youthful anglophile-yearning heart, secret walled gardens, English manor houses, spooky passages. Wonderful book.

I find that I like their Children's section - I picked up two childhood favorites, The Secret Garden and A Little Princess. There are quite a few other titles for under $50 each there. I would also vote for the Austens; I already had Pride and Prejudice but I picked up Persuasion when I ...

I'm an American and I've been attracted to British things ever since I was 7 and I read The Secret Garden. I think it was the concept of 'moors' which especially got to me (it seemed so exotic!). It only grew worse from there - especially when I read the Brontes when I was about 12 (more moors). ...

Three reviews out of 57 copies seems a pretty high percentage by LT standards. I read The Secret Garden (66 reviews? Guess I wasn't the first or the last) in third or fourth grade. That's the closest I ever got to any of 1907's best sellers. I'm pretty sure I've never even seen any of these ...

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I honestly don't know if I've read this book or just seen several versions of the movie multiple times!

The worst book I have ever read has got to be The secret Garden by Frances Burnett, it took me three months to push through it (then again I was in fourth grade so that may have been why it took so long and I hated it so much) it was just so dry and I hated the characters. Then The wind in the W ...

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett

... The second is another book by Frances Hodgson Burnett which I would recommend if you liked A Little Princess or The Secret Garden.

There are books I read as a child - The Secret Garden is one of them - that became almost like haunting dreams. For most of my life I retained a vague memory of a wonderful, wonderful book checked out of the library once, which my mother read to me when I was very, very young. It was about a girl ...

... . Same with A Little Princess. That's probably the one that answers your question the most. I should probably reread The Secret Garden too, but it just didn't - and doesn't - have the same pull for me.

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett

I'm trying to read The Secret Garden still. It's really hard for me to read on weekends. I'll probably finish it tomorrow when I have a day off.

I just finished reading it for the first time last night which is odd considering how I adored The Secret Garden that I never found it on my own when I was a child. It is lovely. In some ways it is a Job story. I love that being a princess relies on how you behave and that Sarah takes care of ...

The other book that had all the hype that I just couldn't see at all was The Secret by Rhonda Byrne which really wasn't full of secret information. It's things that we've been told all along. I swear they just get good reviews because of Miss O's loyal following. Just my opinion, Star* ...

... (maybe in an illustrated edition), and my son loved it as a read-aloud at age 7. For girls, A Little Princess and The Secret Garden are both must-haves. For younger children, any of the folktales illustrated by Gerald McDermott are wonderful. My kids also loved Dav Pilkey' ...

... sort of a big area of wild land. I've read about moors in books by Austen, about and by the Brontes, and right now in The Secret Garden. I know I've come across the term in other books as well, but have temporarily forgotten them.

Where is everyone? First two chapters of The Secret Garden now read. Already I see a difference between the book and movie. (Where there multiple versions for film?)

I decided to go ahead and start reading The Secret Garden next. It just came in the mail yesterday. :) (This is a first time read for me, btw.)

I just watched the 1993 version of The Secret Garden and although I enjoyed the movie, I was completely baffled by the changes made to the story and why they were done. I can't see where it made any difference so why do it? They had her parents die in an earthquake in India as opposed to an ...

It could be an edition of The Secret Garden... I haven't read that book in ages.

It is The Secret Garden so well done Booksloth (and goodnight).

Sorry, I'll do that properly. Have been sitting here waiting for the next one to come up so that I can go to bed. Is it The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett? I'm off to check then I'll just have time to post one of my own.

... read another You: The Owner's Manual book, but not this particular one. As a social worker, I REALLY hate the idea of The Secret and won't go near it.

Last night, I finished reading A Little Princess and mooched The Secret Garden from someone on BookMooch. I absolutely despise that I hated books so much as a kid because everyone talks about favorites when they were children and I am without that. I had such a difficult time reading. Now ...

from The Secret Garden, I think the song is "Lily's Eyes" sung by the uncle, who's name will probably come to me in about an hour.

That's funny compski and K, The Secret Garden is the book I credit with making me into a reader. They're both splendid books.

I've been thinking about getting The Secret Garden. I watched the movie several times as a kid. I'll have to see what the other is about. Thanks, compski! :)

Frances Hodgson Burnett also wrote Little Lord Fauntleroy and The Secret Garden. Run out and get them if you haven't read them yet, especially the last one. They are my favorites, too.

Cloning: The Secret by Eva Hoffman (no touchstone apparently). Was sold as mainstream and is by a non-genre author; came out a few years ago. It uses cloning as a means of discussing self-identity. What makes you you? Anything by Butler would be a thoughtful, thought-provoking read. I ...

I love the fairy tales of George MacDonald. The Princess and Curdie and The Light Princess are favorites. Frances Hodgsen Burnett would have to be my other favorite for The Little Princess and Secret Garden. I have many other favorite children's books, but not by the same author. My ...

The Secret Garden is great, but how is it fantasy? Tom's Midnight Garden by Philippa Pearce might qualify, though. I'd also nominate Five Children and It by E. Nesbit and The Perilous Gard by Elizabeth Marie Pope.

Wow, it's like The Secret Garden. I always thought it was so cool how a curtain hung in front of a hidden door! (I only saw the movie, didn't read the book.) Could Chelsea be in there?

... I wouldn't be so sure if she hadn't mentioned about Mary hearing crying. That makes me almost certain she's talking about The Secret Garden.

I would not be so sure it is The Secret Garden. In fact, there is no old lady in the book and I can't remember the cat either. I have no clue about the other two either....sorry!

I'm almost positive the second book you're talking about is The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett Mary, the main character hears crying at night and later stumbles upon an abandoned hidden garden.

... Of course I also loved the Ramona books, Little House on the Prarie, The Baby-sitter's Club, and I still love to read The Secret Garden. Also, one of my earliest memories of having a book read to me is that of my dad reading to us from Shel Silverstein's Where the Sidewalk Ends. I ...

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett

Oooh, fun question! I have a tag for "art in fiction". Here are a few that are SF-related: The Stone Garden by Mary Rosenblum. Very unique twist on a traditional form of art in this one... If performing arts are OK, The Merro Tree by Katie Waitman. Highly recommended. I am not ...

Anne of Green Gables would probably be ok. My grandmother bought me the entire series when I was ten. The Secret Garden may also be good.

... but I think she counts! Margret Asgeirsdottir from Jane Smiley's Greenlanders. And in children's books: Mary from The Secret Garden

Just finished The Secret Garden. It was really great - I can't believe I waited so long to read it I am now reading we need to talk about kevin by lionel shriver which seems really good so far. Very easy to read and hard to put down.

I've succumbed to buying A history of Venice, The secret garden and A room with a view. Altogether there are 120 or so books in the sale and it took a great deal of resistance not to buy any more.

It took me months to finish The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett when I was in fifth grade or so. Surprisingly, A Little Princess is one of my favorite books ever, that I can tear through in a day or two.
