The Secret Garden

Frances Hodgson Burnett

Author:

Yorkshire, England

Setting:

The Secret Garden is the first book I read that takes place in Yorkshire, and for that it holds a special place in my heart. It has all the elements I love about English novels: a manor house with a secret, walled gardens, mystery and magic. It’s an enchanting story to share with the children in your life and provides the opportunity for many spin-off discussions about the British Empire, the British in India, and the Yorkshire Moors.
