About the Author

Frances Hodgson Burnett is the award-winning author of such children s classics as The Secret Garden, Little Lord Fauntleroy, and A Little Princess. Born in Manchester, England in 1849, Burnett immigrated with her family to Knoxville, Tennessee, at the age of sixteen, and there began her career writing stories for magazines, eventually publishing her first novel, That Lass o Lowries, in 1877. The publication of Little Lord Fauntleroy in 1886 cemented her popularity as a children s author, although she continued to write adult fiction as well. Frances Burnett Hodgson died in Long Island in 1924.

As a child. I read this book countless times. I should have paid for attention to the details, as the print is so small it is very difficult for her to read,

This comment is relevant to the CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform (November 29, 2014) version only: It is unreadable. There are no indentations at the beginning of paragraphs, so that the entire text is left-justified.
In addition, some of the short lines are both left- and right-justified, resulting in 2-inch gaps between words. New chapters do not begin on new pages.

One of my bucket list items for a classic read. Glad I read it. A book for younger readers but a refreshing reminder of when literature was thought provoking, well communicated and well done.

It gets two stars, because it is the text of Secret Garden and the pages are bound like a book. But this is the weirdest book I've seen. It looks as though someone printed the ebook and glue bound the pages. No cover page, oddly small font, really small margins, and single spaced. I ordered this book for my eight year old daughter, but it is the least appealing book. The cover art is also super pixelated. The chapters start two lines below the end of the previous chapter. The entire book is less than half an inch thick. I flipped through and read much of it to convince myself it wasn't abridged. This is the Secret Garden if you just want the words, if you want a book to cherish and grow with and pass on to your own children, this is certainly not the book for you. It reminds me of prints of readings I got from copy shops in college. It just looks depressing.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 31, 2015

This edition seems to be a very cheap reprint of the original. The typeface and presentation is awful - much too small and bland for small readers. The original illustrations are omitted. This version of the original "gem" of a story should be avoided at all costs. It is also way overpriced. Terrible!
