Daniel’s getting married next week. He’s got his future all worked out.
It’s his past that’s the problem. Daniel never knew his father. All his
mother would say was that his Dad had been a Nigerian who died the year
Daniel was born. He didn’t even know what his Dad looked like until an
old neighbour showed him a picture. But the man in the photo is still
alive. And Daniel will stop at nothing to find him.
The Secret Garden - Audiobook Mistress Mary is quite contrary until she helps her garden grow. Along
the way, she manages to cure her sickly cousin Colin, who is every bit
as imperious as she. These two are sullen little peas in a pod, closed
up in a gloomy old manor on the Yorkshire moors of England, until a
locked-up garden captures their imaginations and puts the blush of a
wild rose in their cheeks; "It was the sweetest, most
mysterious-looking place any one could imagine. The high walls which
shut it in were covered with the leafless stems of roses which were so
thick, that they matted together.... 'No wonder it is still,' Mary
whispered. 'I am the first person who has spoken here for ten years.'"
As new life sprouts from the earth, Mary and Colin's sour natures begin
to sweeten. For anyone who has ever felt afraid to live and love, The Secret Garden's
portrayal of reawakening spirits will thrill and rejuvenate. Frances
Hodgson Burnett creates characters so strong and distinct, young
readers continue to identify with them even 85 years after they were
conceived.
