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.

Frances Hodgson Burnett: Der kleine Lord

Der siebenjährige Cedric lebt mit seiner verwitweten Mutter in New York in ärmlichen Verhältnissen. Doch das Leben des Jungen wird sich schlagartig ändern: Er soll Lord Fauntleroy werden! Sein Großvater, der mürrische Earl von Dorincourt, möchte seinen einzigen Enkel zu sich nach England holen und dort zu seinem standesgemäßen Erben erziehen lassen. Aber es ist der kleine Junge, der das Leben des verbitterten Aristokraten umkrempelt. Frances Hodgson Burnett lebte von 1849 bis 1924. Am bekanntesten hierzulande sind die deutschen Übersetzungen ihrer Bücher "Der kleine Lord" (1886), "Eine kleine Prinzessin" (1888) sowie "Der geheime Garten" (1911). Alle drei Romane wurden mehrfach verfilmt. Lesung mit Frank Stöckle Produktion: Audiobuch 2020 Verfügbar bis 18. Mai 2025
