Gr 4-7-Although an abridgement, this audiobook captures the essence of the classic children's novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Raised in India, Mary Lennox is sent to live with an uncle she never met at Misselthwaite Manor in England when her parents die. At first, Mary hates living on the English moors. Like her deceased parents, Mary's uncle ignores the child and leaves her in the care of the housekeeper and other servants. Encouraged to play outside by Martha, a housemaid, Mary meets Ben Weatherstaff, a gardener, and she learns about the secret garden. While playing in the garden, Mary discovers the locked door leading in to the secret garden. One night, Mary hears someone crying, and discovers her invalid cousin in a dark room. The two children explore the healing magic of the secret garden. British actress Jenny Agutter narrates the story with a carefully modulated accent, and classical music plays in the background. Despite the quality of the audiobook, the Victorian language may be a deterrent and the story's plot may be outdated for most modern listeners. Consider adding this audiobook to collections where classic children's literature is popular.-Sarah Prielipp, Chippewa River District Library System, Mt.

Joan Plowright—as the older Mary Lennox—narrates the Frances Hodgson Burnett classic about a spoiled orphan girl who finds hope and beauty on a Yorkshire estate. This full-cast drama is—if it's possible to apply the term to an audio program—spectacular. The use of music and sound not only conveys the mood but also gives a panoramic feel to the story. Top-notch performances by "FawltyTowers" Prunella Scales (as Mrs. Madlock) and Lily Milton, Thomas Orange, and Garrett Moore (as the children) make the garden and its surroundings come alive. Kudos go to engineer/producer Dave Arnold and director Philip Glassborow on a fine and memorable production. S.E.S. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine |
