    #TheSecretGarden by #FrancisBurnett
    Read it while I was very young. Beautiful language. One of the first feisty girls I loved.

  2. It’s Weekend, Let’s Read: The Secret Garden #ProjectGutenberg #PublicDomain

    Today I’m sharing a book that it is widely known, but I never read it, can you believe it? The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett.

    The story is about Mary Lennox that is sent to live with her uncle in a manor house in the Yorkshire Moors. There’s a locked walled garden and a secret about it (not a spoiler, it’s in the title).

    You can download an illustrated edition from Project Gutenberg right here, right now.

    If you are also going through a hell of a heatwave like we’re having, maybe reading about a garden helps. Have a wonderful and relaxed weekend full of reading.

  5. "[S]he was stirring her slow blood and making herself stronger by fighting with the wind that swept down from the moor." - The Secret Garden

    Inspired by The Secret Garden's touting the virtues of winter walks, I wrote an article with the classic children's book as a prompt in December 2020. Having just returned from a brisk winter walk, I thought of the excerpt.

  6. Winter is coming to an end, but the weather is still hovering around freezing in New York City. Even if it is cold, that is no excuse to not take a walk. On winter's eve, I wrote an article with reference to The Secret Garden arguing for the benefits of winter walks.
