A Little Princess AND The Secret Garden - Two Classics from Frances Hodgson Burnett! - Unabridged
"Frances Hodgson Burnett is one of the most beloved writers of children's books in history. Two of her novels - 'A Little Princess' and 'The Secret Garden' - regularly find themselves near the top of any list of favorite children's books and they have both been adapted to the stage and screen dozens of times. In the first of these novels - 'A Little Princess' tells the tale of young Sara Crewe, a young British girl who lives the life of a princess. Born to rich father who dotes on her, she enjoys all the trappings of wealth: carriages, fine clothing, servants...anything her heart desires. But when her father dies and his fortune dries up, Sara finds herself a penniless orphan, abused by her guardian and forced to work at menial jobs to scratch out an existence. In the second book, 'The Secret Garden,' Burnett continues this theme with the story of Mary Lennox, another British girl who is orphaned as a child and sent to live with her moody, enigmatic uncle at his sprawling estate in England. Mary learns that her uncle is a widower and has shut up a beautiful garden on his estate because it was a favorite of his dead wife and the girl becomes obsessed with finding this mysterious place and exploring it herself. These two books are both extraordinary novels of survival, friendship and the power of the human spirit and they are presented here in their original and unabridged format, just as it first appeared in print."

"This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a heartwarming and transformative tale that celebrates the healing power of nature, the resilience of the human spirit, and the redemptive magic of friendship. Set in the moody Yorkshire countryside of early 20th-century England, the novel follows Mary Lennox, a spoiled and lonely orphan sent to live with her reclusive uncle at the mysterious Misselthwaite Manor after the sudden death of her parents in India. Cold, withdrawn, and resistant to connection, Mary’s life begins to change when she discovers a hidden, long-neglected walled garden locked away from the world. As she begins to bring the garden back to life, Mary herself undergoes a profound transformation—becoming curious, kind, and full of vitality. Alongside Dickon, a nature-loving boy with an almost magical affinity for animals, and Colin, her sickly and embittered cousin confined indoors, Mary helps nurture not only the secret garden but also the inner lives of everyone it touches. Burnett’s novel is rich with symbolism, portraying the garden as a metaphor for personal growth, emotional awakening, and the reconnection between people and the natural world. With its lyrical prose, charming characters, and themes of hope and renewal, The Secret Garden endures as a beloved children’s classic and a profound story for all ages. It gently reminds readers that even the most neglected soul can bloom again with care, love, and light."
