The Secret Garden

De: Frances Hodgson-Burnett

Narrado por: Cathi Colas

The Secret Garden is a timeless classic of transformation and healing. When spoiled and lonely Mary Lennox is sent from colonial India to live with her reclusive uncle in a gloomy English manor, she finds herself surrounded by mystery and silence. But everything begins to change when she discovers a hidden, locked garden that has been left untended for years.

As Mary begins to care for the garden, she undergoes her own quiet transformation—becoming curious, compassionate, and full of life. With the help of Dickon, a kind-hearted boy who has a magical way with animals, and her sickly cousin Colin, Mary brings the garden—and the people around her—back to life.

Filled with themes of resilience, nature’s restorative power, and the beauty of friendship, The Secret Garden continues to enchant listeners of all ages with its vivid imagery, heartfelt characters, and hopeful message.

Family Tradition

My grandmother read this to my mother and her sisters on a cross country train trip in the 1950's on their way to Germany to visit my grandfather who was there as an American GI.

Nice classic story

I really enjoyed listening to this classic story. There are some words and characterizations that are dated. Overall though a fun narrated story.
