The Secret Garden opens the door to the innermost places in the heart. Written in 1911, adults may be surprised at the modern themes: the ability of mental beliefs to create health, the strength of group optimism, and the restorative power of nature. Mary, unloved and selfish, finds friendship and happiness helping her equally self-centered cousin become strong and healthy. Nature's powerful magic -- the mystery of life itself, birth, renewal, love and joy -- touches both Mary and her cousin as they toil to revive their secret garden. Adults and children alike will enjoy listening to every word of Frances Hodgson Burnett's classic. This unabridged audiobook is read by British actress Wanda McCaddon. This classic childhood tale of friendship was the basis for the acclaimed 1993 motion picture, as well as several other motion picture versions and an award-winning Broadway musical. 6 cassettes.
