I recently found myself staying in my niece’s room and without anything to read. Somehow I had missed The Secret Garden as a child, and I decided to check it out. While it’s not a perfect book from a structural (or political) point of view, I enjoyed and admired the way the story frames the healing power of natural beauty. If you, like me, somehow never read this, take heart. Not too late to enjoy it.
