The Secret Garden Summary

The Secret Garden by Robert Ingpen

The perfect gift for a young reader. Share your beloved childhood stories with the next generation!

This beautiful edition of Frances Hodgson Burnett's cherished children's story brings together the complete and unabridged text with over seventy evocative illustrations and botanical studies by the award-winning artist Robert Ingpen.

When spoiled rich girl, Mary Lennox, is orphaned, she is shipped from India to live in her uncle's enormous manor in faraway England. Before long, Mary finds a key to a secret garden that has been left untouched for ten years, and a whole new world of enchantment opens up to her. For the first time she learns to make friends - with the talented animal-charmer, Dickon, and her sickly cousin, Colin, who has been hidden away behind closed doors - and together they reveal the garden's haunting secrets.

A full-colour illustrated edition of one of the world's best loved stories.

'Ingpen's drawings are utterly compelling' - Michael Morpurgo

About Robert Ingpen

Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924) was born and lived her early life in Manchester, England before emigrating to the US with her family. After the death of her eldest son, Lionel, she returned to England in 1890 and rented an estate with several walled gardens - it was in the rose garden, her outdoor studio, that the notion of The Secret Garden was born. Robert Ingpen was born in 1936 in Geelong, Australia. He studied illustration art and book design at The Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. In 1986 he was awarded the Hans Christian Andersen Medal for his contribution to children's literature and has been honoured with Membership of the Order of Australia. A world-renowned artist and author, he has designed, illustrated and written over 100 books. This series of classic works illustrated by Robert includes Treasure Island, Peter Pan and Wendy, The Jungle Book, The Wind in the Willows and A Christmas Carol. Robert lives and works in Anglesea, near his home town of Geelong.
