Summary
With the help of the robin, Mary finds the door to a secret garden, neglected and hidden for years. When she decides to restore the garden in secret, the story becomes a charming journey into the places of the heart, where faith restores health, flowers refresh the spirit, and the magic of the garden, coming to life anew, brings health to Colin - and to Mary, happiness.

Mistress Mary Quite Contrary
A very different story, with very unusual characters and a beautiful message for all.
This is one of those books I missed in my childhood, but a visit to a restaurant in Spain called The Secret Garden and an interview in radio 4 recommending it gave the inspiration to read it.
Nothing was like I expected, the main character is very contrary, the events in her life are devastating but her courage and growth in the story are beautifully achieved. Some elements are very much of its period but others are well ahead of its time. I especially like how the mundane became magical and the magical became normal.
A book full of beauty and hope, with children, other children will grow to love.
A very good reading, with wonderful accents and characterization; a perfect listen.

Loved it
I first saw the film years ago when I was a child. I loved it then, but I'd never read the book. I'm glad that I have, the film and the book (from what I remember if the film) follow closely with each other. I really enjoyed reading this and the audible version is great too. A real classic that I will be sure to read again.

Fantastic read. Well narrated.
Having never read this as a child it's been on my TBR for a while. Johanna Ward's narration is excellent. She really brings Mary in particular to life. Highly recommended.

Drama and adventure! The 2 most important thing to hold a good book together!
Amazing book! A bit of a spook at the start but that’s the only negative really!
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves drama and adventure. The only reason I love this book because so addictive and adventurous.
