THE SECRET GARDEN

A secret garden with a tragic past, a mysterious cry, an imposing estate in the
English countryside. A human-like robin, a boy named Colin, bedridden by a
presumed serious illness, and a girl called Mary, who facing difficulties and
making new friendships finds herself growing up in a mysterious and fascinating
environment. These are the main ingredients that make Frances Hodgson Burnett's
masterpiece "The Secret Garden" so unique; this book is a cornerstone of
children's literature, and an ode to the beauty and irrepressible strength of
Nature. The adventures of young Mary, a source of inspiration for generations of
readers of all ages, are embellished in this volume by the illustrations by
Mariachiara Di Giorgio. With her elegant, almost pictorial hand, she confers the
enchantment and stupor of the discovery of a forgotten garden that is brought
back to life, together with the protagonists of the novel.
