Frances Hodgson Burnett

The Secret Garden

“She pushed the door and opened it very slowly. She was inside the secret garden!”

When Mary Lennox’s parents die in India, she moves to England to live in her uncle’s

enormous manor. Mary is sad and lonely and she has no one to play with.

Then one day Mary finds an old key to a secret garden that no one goes into

and a whole new world of magic and enchantment opens up to her.

Before long Mary learns to make friends for the first time:

with Dickon the gentle animal charmer, with Colin her sick cousin

and with Ben Weatherstaff the kind but silent gardener.

Can the garden bring back the love that is missing

from their lives?

“He talked a lot about the past that night.”

Jay Gatsby is the man who has everything: money, influential friends and fabulous parties.

Day and night his Long Island mansion is full of beautiful people laughing

and dancing and talking about their mysterious host.

For the rich and handsome Gatsby always seems to be

alone in the crowd and there always seems to be

something missing from his life.

What is the secret from Gatsby’s past?

And what does he silently

hope will fill his life?
