THE SECRET GARDEN
BY
FRANCES HODGSON BURNETT



There's something strange about The Secret Garden. The classic novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, published 100 years ago this summer, takes the traditional children's literature trope of the orphan protagonist and twists it. Mary Lennox is not a good-hearted, put-upon creature, cut from the cloth of Oliver Twist or Cinderella (or Anne Shirley, Pip, Jane Eyre or Heidi). Rather she is spoiled, homely, mean and sometimes violentâ¦

This unusual story, then, has proved to be the most lasting element of Burnett's literary legacy. Perhaps that shouldn't surprise us, given how ahead of its time it was. In The Secret Garden, the orphan Mary's rightful inheritance is ultimately herself and the natural world, the ability to speak truth to others and to have it spoken back to her - to live a full life of both the body and the imagination.


                                                                                         Anna Clark, The Guardian




In 1898, Burnett rented Great Maytham Hall in Kent, a Downton Abbey-style manor with a walled kitchen garden. When Burnett moved in, the ivy on the walls was so overgrown that she couldn t find the door to the garden. Finally, like Mary in The Secret Garden, a robin sitting on a nearby branch showed her where it was. After that, Burnett threw herself into fixing up the neglected grounds, planting flower gardens, putting in rose bushes, and improving the views. She wrote In Connection with the DeWilloughby Claim in the gazebo. Henry James was a neighbor. 

Then, in 1908, the hall was sold and Burnett moved back to America. While there, her beloved English garden came back to her. Both it, and the robin, inspired The Secret Garden.


                                                                                         JOY LANZENDORFER




This tale of transformation is an exaltation of nature and its effects on the human spirit. It reflects the basic human need for companionship and the importance of allowing children the time to be children.

INTRODUCTION TO THE SECRET GARDEN

How to cure a little girl - yellow, thin and not good-looking of a bad temper and hatred of people? How to make a mean hypochondriac, whose whims are indulged by everyone, go outside and make his first steps without a wheelchair?

The answer to these questions is in the pages of The Secret Garden.

This book by Frances Burnett will fascinate its readers with a wonderful Victorian style of narration, a warm atmosphere, wonderfully described steppe wides, marvellous gardens and meaningful dialogues.

The Victorians believed it was not good for small children to sit at home and be depressed, especially with such wides outside where they could run, jump, play and get to know nature. Probably, this ingenuous paradigm is still true.

The main characters are an orphan girl Mary, who moved from India to live with her uncle, and a boy Colin, a son of this uncle. They are united by two things: death and mean temper. Mary s parents were killed by a cholera epidemic in India, but even before their death, she was growing without love because she was inconvenient for her beautiful mother. Colin s mother died after an accident in the garden, and because of it his father withdrew from the world,  and above all from his son, who resembled his wife too much, but at the same time was too weak and sick.

No wonder the children grew up reserved and selfish, they did not tolerate a refusal.

But Frances Burnett underlines the idea that there no bad children, but a bad upbringing.

A work therapy in the garden, outside games, meetings with birds and animals as well as serious talks with a gloomy gardener help the children to become normal, inquisitive, and to get to like the life in all its appearances. It is an excellent manual for the parents who are too busy with themselves to raise children. According to readers acknowledgements and love, it has been excellent for a century.

CHAPTER I 

THERE IS NO ONE LEFT

When Mary Lennox was sent to Misselthwaite Manor to live with her uncle everybody said she was the most disagreeable-looking child ever seen. It was true, too. She had a little thin face and a little thin body, thin light hair and a sour expression. Her hair was yellow, and her face was yellow because she had been born in India and had always been ill in one way or another. Her father had held a position under the English Government and had always been busy and ill himself, and her mother had been a great beauty who cared only to go to parties and amuse herself with gay people. She had not wanted a little girl at all, and when Mary was born she handed her over to the care of an Ayah, who was made to understand that if she wished to please the Mem Sahib she must keep the child out of sight as much as possible. So when she was a sickly, fretful, ugly little baby she was kept out of the way, and when she became a sickly, fretful, toddling thing she was kept out of the way also. She never remembered seeing familiarly anything but the dark faces of her Ayah and the other native servants, and as they always obeyed her and gave her her own way in everything, because the Mem Sahib would be angry if she was disturbed by her crying, by the time she was six years old she was as tyrannical and selfish a little pig as ever lived. The young English governess who came to teach her to read and write disliked her so much that she gave up her place in three months, and when other governesses came to try to fill it they always went away in a shorter time than the first one. So if Mary had not chosen to really want to know how to read books she would never have learned her letters at all.

One frightfully hot morning, when she was about nine years old, she awakened feeling very cross, and she became crosser still when she saw that the servant who stood by her bedside was not her Ayah.

"Why did you come?" she said to the strange woman. "I will not let you stay. Send my Ayah to me."

The woman looked frightened, but she only stammered that the Ayah could not come and when Mary threw herself into a passion and beat and kicked her, she looked only more frightened and repeated that it was not possible for the Ayah to come to Missie Sahib.

There was something mysterious in the air that morning. Nothing was done in its regular order and several of the native servants seemed missing, while those whom Mary saw slunk or hurried about with ashy and scared faces. But no one would tell her anything and her Ayah did not come. She was actually left alone as the morning went on, and at last she wandered out into the garden and began to play by herself under a tree near the veranda. She pretended that she was making a flower-bed, and she stuck big scarlet hibiscus blossoms into little heaps of earth, all the time growing more and more angry and muttering to herself the things she would say and the names she would call Saidie when she returned.

"Pig! Pig! Daughter of Pigs!" she said, because to call a native a pig is the worst insult of all.

She was grinding her teeth and saying this over and over again when she heard her mother come out on the veranda with some one. She was with a fair young man and they stood talking together in low strange voices. Mary knew the fair young man who looked like a boy. She had heard that he was a very young officer who had just come from England. The child stared at him, but...
