Burnett, Frances Hodgson Secret Garden
Philadelphia, Pa. Courage Books Aug-91 894718606 N Hardcover
From School Library Journal&newline;Grade 1-4-- Although this abridged version of Burnett's classic novel retains the order of narrative events found in her work, the bare-bones style has little of the flavor of the original. The condensation all but eliminates descriptive passages and fails to develop characters such as Ben Weatherstaff, Susan Sowerby, and Archibald Craven. The time from Colin's entry into the garden through his recovery is severely compressed. Nor can the illustrations earn a purchase recommendation on their own merits. Figures are stiff and lifeless, and the colors are unappealing. In the final painting, for example, the complexions of all the characters are a sickly green. Adults who want to share their own remembered enjoyment of Burnett's work with their children would be well advised to read the original aloud to young listeners or wait until they are old enough to read the complete novel themselves. --Kathy Piehl, Mankato State University, MN&newline;Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. &newline;&newline;Card catalog description&newline;A simplified retelling of how ten-year-old Mary comes to live in a lonely house on the Yorkshire moorswhere she discovers an invalid cousin and the mysteries of a locked garden.

Burnett, Frances Hodgson Secret Garden
Children's Classics 1-Sep-98 517189607 N Hardcover
From School Library Journal&newline;Grade 3 Up Burnett's classic story of a disagreeable and self-centered little girl and her equally disagreeable invalid cousin is as real and wise and enthralling now as it was when it was first written over 75 years ago. The strength of her characterizations pulls readers into the story, and the depth inherent in the seemingly simple plot continues to make this sometimes forgotten story as vital to the maturation of young readers as Tom Sawyer and Little Women. Hague's illustrations enhance the story beautifully, capturing as they do, both the old-fashioned and timeless quality of the tale. The charm, clarity, and muted tones of Hague's paintings add dimension to each part of the tale. A reissue of an old classic to be treasured by a new generation of children (and their parents)! Constance A. Mellon, Department of Library & Information Studies, East Carolina University, Greenville, N.C.&newline;Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. &newline;&newline;From AudioFile&newline;Frances Hodgson Burnett's classic tale of loneliness, loss and renewal at a Victorian mansion is brought to life in this wonderful full-cast production. The dramatization is performed by the St. Charles Players, whose members are listed, but details about the troupe and cast roles are omitted. This is unfortunate, since the narrator, who reads with the warm, lively quality of Angela Lansbury, deserves special kudos. The entire presentation is delightful for children and adults, being well scripted, tightly edited, nicely acted and expertly engineered. Music and audio effects add to the enjoyment of the program.
