A sunny afternoon, glorious red roses and a zeitlos classic which I first devoured at the age of ten. Sounds like a perfect late afternoon, doesn’t it? Indeed it is. Alongside Upstream written by Mary Oliver, I’m rereading The Secret Garden written by Frances Hodgson Burnett and I’m loving it even more this time round. There is a depth to The Secret Garden which makes it rightfully a classic. Add to that, Hodgson Burnett’s writing seems to envelop me with warmth and comfort - I’m just basking in that. __________________________ Which is your favourite childhood classic?
