The classic English children’s novel of three young friends and one special garden, stunningly reimagined in a deluxe full-color edition, illustrated with beautiful artwork and unique interactive features created by the award-winning design studio, MinaLima.
After tragedy leaves Mary Lennox orphaned, the bratty ten-year-old British girl is sent from her home in India to Yorkshire, to live with Archibald Craven, a distant uncle whom she has never met.
At first, life in the isolated Misselthwaite Manor is as cold and desolate as the bleak moor outside her window. Then Mary learns the story of the late Mrs. Craven, the estate’s mistress, who spent hours in a walled garden tending to her roses. Mrs. Craven died after an accident in the garden, and her forlorn husband forbid anyone to enter it again, locking it and burying the key. The tale piques Mary’s curiosity and inspires her to find this secret garden, a search that introduces her to new friends, including a robin redbreast; Dickson, a twelve-year-old boy with a kindness to animals; and Colin, her secluded sickly first-cousin. Spending time in the garden transforms Mary and Colin and ultimately, life at Misselthwaite Manor itself.

"Received Beauty and the Beast and was very happy with the purchase. I plan on giving the book as a gift to my granddaughter on her birthday, which is in August. I have not broken the seal on the covering, as she may want to keep it that way. The book arrived in a timely fashion and it was very easy to order and ship. I look forward to her opening it."
"Got it for my wife for valentines day. I couldn't wait and gave it to her a couple days early. She loves it. She had a different version on her wishlist that has now been removed because in her words, "This is so much better than the leatherbound one I have on my wishlist. " So long story long, if your significant other loves books this is the perfect gift. The illustrations are amazing and the interactive elements add that extra little bit to make it special."
