The Secret Garden by Francis Hodgson Burnett is one of my favourite books because of the beautiful descriptions of the various landscapes that Mary, the main character experiences. Yorkshire is a terrific example because of the description of the brilliant green moors and the vivid wildlife which feeds the readers imagination.
The Secret Garden is about a white Indian girl called Mary who is evacuated to Yorkshire to prevent her catching the deadly disease which killed her parents and all of her loved ones. She has a grumpy soul which prevents her from making friends in the beginning. Mary soon finds out that instead of being her melancholic self she could explore the unknown world surrounding her. The maid encourages her to step outside into the magical gardens where her story really begins...
This story brought fantasy and magic into my mind. A specific moment I enjoyed was when the curious robin, Marys only friend at the time, showed her where to find the key to the secret garden of majestic flowers and vines...
Read, be inspired and write!
