The Secret Garden is written by American author Frances Hodgson Burnett and published in book form in 1911. This is novel for children and is a pastoral story of self-healing that became a classic of children’s literature. This book is considered to be among Burnett’s best work. The novel revolves on Mary Lennox, a selfish and disagreeable 10-year-old girl, who is living in India with her wealthy British family. Neglected by her parents, Mary is spoiled by her servants. Mary is orphaned when a cholera epidemic kills her parents and the servants. After staying briefly with an English clergyman, she is sent to England to live with a widowed uncle, his huge Yorkshire estate, but he is rarely there. Consequently, she is brought to the estate by the head housekeeper who shuts her into a room and tells her not to explore the house. Later on, her interaction with nature transforms her and she becomes kinder and more considerate. The Secret Garden is a tale of transformation and feeling of extreme happiness in the presence of nature. The physical and spiritual healing that Mary experiences in the garden is mirrored in the nature’s seasons.

Secret Gardens by Humphrey Carpenter Pdf

Covering the period from the publication of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland to Winnie-the-Pooh, Humphrey Carpenter examines the lives and writings of Lewis Carroll, Kenneth Grahame, George Macdonald, Louisa May Alcott, Frances Hodgson Burnett, A.A. Milne and others whose works make up the Golden Age of children's literature. Both a collective biography and a work of criticism, Secret Gardens forces us to reconsider childhood classics in a new light. ' Secret Gardens permits us to see in a fresh light the interaction between cultural history and literature, and to realize that ... it wasn't mere misfits who withdrew into the writing of children's books, but rather the sort of misfits who reflected the prevailing dissatisfactions of the age.'

Hidden Lives / Secret Gardens by R. T. Schnadelbach,R. Terry Schnadelbach Pdf

hidden lives / secret gardens is a synthetic history about gardens and human sexuality. Written in an accessible style for the garden enthusiast, the serious landscape designer, and those interested in the lives of international celebrities, the book explores the very roots of Modernism as begun in Florence, Italy in the very first year of the twentieth century. For the past twenty-years, R. Terry Schnadelbach, FAAR, Professor of Landscape Architecture, University of Florida, has researched the Modernist era in landscape architecture. He authored a book, Ferruccio Vitale, Landscape Architect of the Country Place Era, on the Florentine landscape architect, who brought to America both the formal garden as well as its first Modernist landscapes. In hidden lives / secret gardens, Schnadelbach exposes the engaging and intertwined lives of a group of expatriates, their secluded hillside villas and secret new gardens that ushered a new direction in garden design. Three successive new gardens at Villas Gamberaia, La Pietra and I Tatti were among the earliest Modernist landscapes and were an inspiration many landscape professionals in Britain and America. While hidden lives / secret gardens manuscript focuses on the revival of the Renaissance aesthetic in Florence and paints a picture of each garden's history, it explores the new and emerging field of sexual psychology through the hidden lives of the Villa's owners and designers, revealing their artistic life styles, their commercial and sexual mores.
