I got it in my head that I needed to reread this book after 50 years. I did not remember much of the book. I’m glad I didn’t, for reading it was it’s own secret garden. Wonderful story of the magic of healing.

This book is truly wonderful - the movie is good, but the book utterly surpasses it in every way. It makes you want to get outside, it makes you want to grow things, makes you want to learn about the creatures living around you. Also shows you how to use your mind as the first step in healing. A marvelous and inspiring book.

This book has been on my TBR since I was a child myself. I’ve just never gotten around to for some reason. That’s exactly why it picked it for my book club pick this time. It’s always a bit of a peculiar thing to come to a childhood classic for the first time as an adult. Not only is your mindset totally different than that of a pre-teen, but you’re also dealing with change in societal norms from the time the book was first published.

The descriptions of nature in this story are fabulous. I adore the fall, but reading about the birds and green shoots and flowers as the world outside my window is getting ready to hibernate really made me long for spring. The author not only paints a beautiful visual, but I could also could almost hear the sounds of the critters and smell the fresh turned earth.

Mary and Colin are really quite disagreeable children. Due to their upbringing, I was inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt. Which is exactly why I love the Sowerby family, starting with Martha. Although Martha doesn’t seem to get as much credit for the turnaround of the children in Misselthwaite Manor, she was the first one to stand up to Mary, so to speak. It wasn’t so much impudence or sass, but truly not understanding the odd ways Mary had and being outspoken about those things. Mary’s transformation started with Martha, and snowballed once Dickon Sowerby came into the picture. Which then put Mary into the position to be a catalyst for Colin’s transformation.

Because this story was published in the early 1900’s, there were definitely issues with how these children were raised and talked about. These are things I could push aside, knowing it has to do with the times. There were a few things really rubbed me the wrong way, though. Things that I feel I would want to discuss with a young reader of this story. Where I think this read can be wonderful for all ages, some may need some guidance. The lesson that came across to me was how much your attitude about yourself and the world around you can actually change you from the inside out. I believe different people will get different things from this book, and that’s a good marker of what makes a book a classic.
