Horn Book (Sat Apr 01 00:00:00 CST 2006)

Neither of Burnett's classic stories is done justice by being shortened and simplified to fit the chapter-book format. These adaptations lose the beautiful language, mystery, and depth of character of the originals. The decorative black-and-white illustrations for Secret Garden don't contribute much to an appreciation of the story.

Sara Crewe, ten years old, leads a delightful life. Her father, a British officer, provides her with all of the comfort his wealth and charm allow. When he dies, a cold-hearted schoolmistress turns Sara into a drudge. How does she cope?Sara is unquenchable. Her father taught her that every girl is a princess, rich or poor. That gift - along with grace, spirit and imagination - give her serenity and puts the fall from riches to rags in perspective.
