Book Synopsis The Secret Garden - Annotated (Original 1911 Edition) by : Frances Hodgson Burnett
Download or read book The Secret Garden - Annotated (Original 1911 Edition) written by Frances Hodgson Burnett and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-04 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Honestly, The Secret Garden has such a straightforward plot that we can almost sum it up as follows: Girl loses parents, girl finds friends, girl finds garden, boy joins girl in garden, boy learns to walk on his own, the end. Actually, that isn''t quite as straightforward as we thought; let us explain in a bit more detail. Mary Lennox is a nine-year-old British girl growing up in colonial India in the care of a sequence of nannies. Since her father is an officer in the British army and her mom is super-busy with the vital business of dinner parties and nice clothes, Mary barely knows her own parents. And since she spends all of her time alone, she''s selfish, demanding, and self-absorbed. Her parents die suddenly of cholera, leaving her in the care of her mother''s brother, Archibald Craven. Mary''s uncle doesn''t care much about her, so he brings her to his huge mansion in England, Misselthwaite Manor, and basically leaves her there, more or less on her own. Mary''s maid Martha is a cheerful Yorkshire woman who won''t stand for Mary''s spoiled tantrums and fits. She tells Mary all about two things that change Mary''s life: (1) There is a walled garden on the grounds that has been sealed off since the death of Archibald Craven''s wife ten years before; and (2) Martha has a little brother named Dickon who loves gardening and wild things. Of course, Mary discovers the walled garden (since the title of this book is The Secret Garden). With the help of a local robin (this isn''t Mary Poppins, so the robin doesn''t actually talk, but it''s smarter than your average bird), Mary stumbles on the long-lost key to the garden and opens it up. With the kindly help of nature-smart Dickon, Mary begins secretly working in the garden to bring its many roses back to life. The exercise and outdoor time improves both her physical and her mental health, and Mary stops being quite so much the spoiled princess that she was at the beginning of the novel. Ever since she first arrived at Misselthwaite Manor, Mary has been hearing the sound of a crying child late at night. She finally discovers the secret of the Manor (well, besides the Secret Garden) one night: Archibald Craven has a son. The boy, Colin, is even more sheltered and spoiled than Mary. He''s been told his whole life that he is sickly, so he believes it--even though there is actually nothing physically wrong with him. Since he gets so little exercise and he spends so much time about his own (imaginary) illnesses, he has a rotten temper and horrible manners. Now that Mary is around to give Colin some straight talk about his bullying behavior and his needless self-pity, though, he begins to grow out of his selfishness. The two of them (again, with the help of Dickon and his green thumb) decide to work in the Secret Garden together. Colin decides that he is going to make himself better so that when his father arrives back in England, Colin can surprise Archibald with his transformation. But wait... You may ask: Why does Colin''s father spend so little time at home with Colin? There are two important details to this tragedy that you have to know: (1) Archibald has a deformed spine, which has had a huge emotional effect on him; and (2) he was deeply in love with his wife Lilias. Lilias was pregnant with Colin when she fell from a tree in the walled garden, went into labor, and died. That''s when the walled garden becomes the Secret Garden: Archibald ordered it sealed up, since Lilias was horribly injured there. Colin survived this terrible start in life, but Archibald can''t stand to look at him. Archibald hates that Colin is all he has left of Lilias, and he also worries that Colin is going to deal with the same physical difficulties with which Archibald struggles. So Archibald has spent most of Colin''s life traveling in Europe and leaving Colin in the care of his doctor and housekeeper. It''s only with the help of Mary and Dickon that Colin begins to imagine that he might survive, and even thrive...

Book excerpt: Three beloved children's classics collected in a deluxe illustrated gift edition perfect for every family library "You are a story--I am a story." Introduce to your family or rediscover for yourself three classic children's novels by Frances Hodgson Burnett, an English-born writer who moved to America at age 15 and who now joins the Library of America. This authoritative edition restores the novels to their original American texts, as Burnett wrote them and features over 40 painstakingly restored illustrations--16 in full color--plus a ribbon marker, helpful annotations, and a short chronology of Burnett's life by her biographer Gretchen Gerzina Holbrook. In The Secret Garden (1911), spoiled orphan Mary Lennox is sent to live at her uncle's manor, where she finds an abandoned walled garden. When she decides to restore the garden, she discovers the key to unlocking her own true self. Sara Crewe is the star pupil at her London boarding school in A Little Princess (1905) until news arrives that her father has died penniless. Sara is forced to become a servant, but she stays hopeful by imagining that she is secretly a princess. And in Little Lord Fauntleroy (1886), seven-year-old Cedric Errol lives in New York City and unexpectedly learns that his grandfather is an English earl. The Earl wants to teach Cedric about power and privilege, but little suspects that the innocent young American will completely change his own life. Soon to be a live action Disney movie starting Colin Firth and Julie Walters, The Secret Garden joins A Little Princess and Little Lord Fauntleroy in one deluxe illustrated volume, a perfect gift for young readers or for family libraries.

Download or read book The Cone written by H. G. Wells and published by Lindhardt og Ringhof. This book was released on 2023-05-11 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On-site to depict the industrial landscape, Raut is only at the Jeddah Company Blast Furnaces for artistic endeavours. But when the manager of the company finds Raut entering an affair with his wife, Raut is about to get more than he bargained for. The manager is intent on showing Raut the dangerous machinery. It looks like Raut will now be getting more than an eyeful... Weaving a shockingly brutal account of one lover’s search for revenge, H. G. Wells' ‘The Cone’ is a must-read for fans of Michael Douglas and Glenn Close in the blockbuster hit ‘Fatal Attraction’. H. G. Wells (1866-1946) was an English author and Noble Prize in Literature nominee, prolific across several genres and celebrated as the "father of science fiction". His notable science fiction works include the blockbuster hit adaptation ‘The Time Machine’, ‘The Invisible Man’, ‘The War of the Worlds’, and ‘When the Sleeper Walks’. Wells is regarded as a literary spokesman of liberal optimism that preceded World War 1 and remains a significant influence on the sci-fi genre today.
Book Synopsis Command Of The Air by : General Giulio Douhet
Download or read book Command Of The Air written by General Giulio Douhet and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the pantheon of air power spokesmen, Giulio Douhet holds center stage. His writings, more often cited than perhaps actually read, appear as excerpts and aphorisms in the writings of numerous other air power spokesmen, advocates-and critics. Though a highly controversial figure, the very controversy that surrounds him offers to us a testimonial of the value and depth of his work, and the need for airmen today to become familiar with his thought. The progressive development of air power to the point where, today, it is more correct to refer to aerospace power has not outdated the notions of Douhet in the slightest In fact, in many ways, the kinds of technological capabilities that we enjoy as a global air power provider attest to the breadth of his vision. Douhet, together with Hugh “Boom” Trenchard of Great Britain and William “Billy” Mitchell of the United States, is justly recognized as one of the three great spokesmen of the early air power era. This reprint is offered in the spirit of continuing the dialogue that Douhet himself so perceptively began with the first edition of this book, published in 1921. Readers may well find much that they disagree with in this book, but also much that is of enduring value. The vital necessity of Douhet’s central vision-that command of the air is all important in modern warfare-has been proven throughout the history of wars in this century, from the fighting over the Somme to the air war over Kuwait and Iraq.
Book Synopsis A Hundred Years of the Secret Garden by : Marion Gymnich
Download or read book A Hundred Years of the Secret Garden written by Marion Gymnich and published by V&R unipress GmbH. This book was released on 2012 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Frances Hodgson Burnett published numerous works for an adult readership, she is mainly remembered today for three novels written for children: Little Lord Fauntleroy (1886), A Little Princess (1905) and The Secret Garden (1911). This volume is dedicated to The Secret Garden. The articles address a wide range of issues, including the representation of the garden in Burnett's novel in the context of cultural history; the relationship between the concept of nature and female identity; the idea of therapeutic places; the notion of redemptive children in The Secret Garden and Little Lord Fauntleroy; the concept of male identity; constructions of 'Otherness' and the redefinition of Englishness; film and anime versions of Burnett's classic; Noel Streatfeild's The Painted Garden as a rewriting of The Secret Garden; attitudes towards food in children's classics and Burnett's novel in the context of Edwardian girlhood fiction and the tradition of the female novel of development.
Book Synopsis The Gothic in Children's Literature by : Anna Jackson
Download or read book The Gothic in Children's Literature written by Anna Jackson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-11 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From creepy picture books to Harry Potter, Lemony Snicket, the Spiderwick Chronicles, and countless vampire series for young adult readers, fear has become a dominant mode of entertainment for young readers. The last two decades have seen an enormous growth in the critical study of two very different genres, the Gothic and children’s literature. The Gothic, concerned with the perverse and the forbidden, with adult sexuality and religious or metaphysical doubts and heresies, seems to represent everything that children’s literature, as a genre, was designed to keep out. Indeed, this does seem to be very much the way that children’s literature was marketed in the late eighteenth century, at exactly the same time that the Gothic was really taking off, written by the same women novelists who were responsible for the promotion of a safe and segregated children’s literature. This collection examines the early intersection of the Gothic and children’s literature and the contemporary manifestations of the gothic impulse, revealing that Gothic elements can, in fact, be traced in children’s literature for as long as children have been reading.
