3. Spring Time
—Spring Time: New beginnings, a book set in the spring, a book you (re)read during the spring.
The Secret Garden - Frances Hodgson Burnett
When Mary Lennox is sent to Misselthwaite Manor to live with her uncle everybody says she is the most disagreeable-looking child ever seen. It is true, too. Mary is pale, spoilt and quite contrary. But she is also horribly lonely. Then one day she hears about a garden in the grounds of the Manor that has been kept locked and hidden for years.
And when a friendly robin helps Mary find the key, she discovers the most magical place anyone could imagine...
I'm not sure if this book is set in the Spring but there is a lot of emphasis on exploring the gardens; flowers, green grass, blossom trees etc.
I really like this book, it's one of my favourite classics. It has such an exciting storyline which really swallows me up every time I re-read it.
I got a new copy for my birthday a few years ago which has a cover designed by Lauren Child, my favourite illustrator.
