{"product_id":"2940012375834","title":"The Secret Garden","description":"After the death of her parents, Mary is brought back from India as a forlorn and unwanted child, to live in her uncle's great lonely house on the moors. Then one day she discovers the key to a secret garden and, like magic, her life begins to brighten in so many ways.\u003cbr\u003eThe Secret Garden is a novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. It was initially published in serial format starting in autumn 1910; the book was first published in its entirety in 1911.\u003cbr\u003eIts working title was Mistress Mary, in reference to the English nursery rhyme Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary. It is now one of Burnett's most popular novels, and is considered to be a classic of children's literature.\u003cbr\u003eThe garden is the book's central symbol. The secret garden at Misselthwaite Manor is the site of both the near-destruction and the subsequent regeneration of a family. Using the garden motif, Burnett explores the healing power inherent in living things.\u003cbr\u003eMaytham Hall in Kent, England, where Burnett lived for a number of years during her marriage is often cited as the inspiration for the book's setting. Burnett kept an extensive garden, including an impressive rose garden. However, it has been noted that besides the garden, Maytham Hall and Misselthwaite Manor are physically very different.","brand":"JC PUB NETWORKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47078770376944,"sku":"2940012375834","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012375834_p0.jpg?v=1763567889","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012375834","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
