The Horn Book Review

The Secret Garden

The Horn Book


(c) Copyright The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.

Neither of Burnett's classic stories is done justice by being shortened and simplified to fit the chapter-book format. These adaptations lose the beautiful language, mystery, and depth of character of the originals. The decorative black-and-white illustrations for Secret Garden don't contribute much to an appreciation of the story.
