“The Secret Garden” by Frances Hodgson Burnett

I always get The Secret Garden and A Little Princess mixed up.  Probably because they both start have something to do with India and because they were written by the same person.  I had only seen the movies until I read my awesome threads version of The Secret Garden.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book.  The imagery was fantastic.  I want to live in a 100 room house that backs up to an English moor.  I took a wrong turn somewhere in life I guess.  The story is full of imagery - mostly garden imagery.  But there is also a cute little story to go along with it.  I will say, look up an example of a Yorkshire accent and it will make reading this book much easier.  

This was a great, quick read - perfect for a snowy day.
