A favourite bedtime classic, beautifully retold by bestselling and award-winning author, Geraldine McCaughrean.
Explore the enchanting world of The Secret Garden in this joyful, fully-illustrated paperback edition - a story about the magic of friendship and the healing power of nature that has captured the imagination of children for over 100 years. This beloved childhood classic by Frances Hodgson Burnett is now available in a sumptuous gift edition. With a foil cover and atmospheric colour illustrations throughout, this is the perfect bedtime story and a gorgeous keepsake to treasure.
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.
A captivating retelling for young children by acclaimed author Geraldine McCaughrean - who has won numerous awards including the Carnegie Medal - and with beautiful illustrations by Margarita Kukhtina, this magical story is one to read with young children again and again.

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.
