THE SECRET GARDEN

Adelina Lirius Calista Brill Frances Hodgson Burnett

A beautiful picture book adaptation of the classic novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett.
When young Mary Lennox moves into Misselthwaite Manor, she hates it. She hates the cold hallways and ugly moor. And she hates how lonely she is. The only comfort Mary has is exploring the manor's grounds. After uncovering a hidden key, Mary discovers an old, abandoned garden that has a few secrets. With two unexpected friends, Mary is determined to bring her garden back to life.

BEAUTIFUL GIFT: This picture book package is so beautiful, it will be irresistible. The picture book format brings this timeless classic to young audiences who aren't ready for the novel.
TIMELY: Interest in this product will be high due to the movie in 2020 by Studio Canal (the Paddington producers!). This book is NOT a movie tie-in. It will have beautiful, original art by Adelina Lirius. -Aside from the Little Golden book, there's no picture book competition for this book.

Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924) grew up in England, but she began writing what was to become The Secret Garden in 1909, when she was creating a garden for a new home in Long Island, New York. Frances was a born storyteller. Even as a young child, her greatest pleasure was in making up stories and acting them out, using her dolls as characters. She wrote over forty books in her lifetime.

Adelina Lirius is an illustrator and designer in Stockholm, Sweden. Drawing makes her happy, and fortunately she gets to draw every day. Besides drawing, she likes to create miniature things out of paper and clay, visit the cinema, bake cookies, and loves animals, especially dogs.
