The Horn Book Review

Neither of Burnett's classic stories is done justice by being shortened and simplified to fit the chapter-book format. These adaptations lose the beautiful language, mystery, and depth of character of the originals. The decorative black-and-white illustrations for Secret Garden don't contribute much to an appreciation of the story.
