The Secret Garden adapted by Geraldine McCaughrean

Illustrated by Margarita Kukhtina

Frances Hodgson Burnett's beloved tale is reimagined in this magical gift book by Geraldine McCaughrean and Margarita Kukhtina.

One of the best loved children's books of all time, The Secret Garden tells the story of how two unhappy children - disagreeable Mary and invalid Colin - find happiness through the magic of nature.

When Mary Lennox is sent from India to live with her uncle at gloomy Misselthwaite Manor, she is the most spoiled and contrary child you could ever meet. But she is also extremely lonely. Until one day, she discovers a walled garden that has been kept secret for years. With the help of a little robin, Mary unearths the key and unlocks the wonder that lies beyond the garden walls - and finds that making friends can be every bit life-changing as a magical garden.

Although The Secret Garden is her first chance to work with Nosy Crow, Geraldine has kept busy for 40 years writing novels, retellings, short stories and plays for all ages and tastes. She refuses to call it work: writing is far too enjoyable. Eight times listed for the Carnegie Medal, she has won it twice, along with three Whitbread Awards, and fifty other awards worldwide, including, in the US, two Michael L Printz Awards. Her books have sold in 50 countries. She is delighted to have to chance to collaborate with illustrator Margarita Kukhtina on Frances Hodgson Burnett’s lovely classic.

Frances Hodgson Burnett was born in Manchester in 1849, and emigrated with her family to the United States of America when she was fifteen. She wrote many adult novels, but she is mostly remembered for her children's books such as Little Lord Fauntleroy, A Little Princess and especially The Secret Garden.
