Great book, great narrator

This is the entire book, not an abridged version. The narrator has a pleasant voice, and used different voices for different characters.

My new very favorite book

Oh my goodness gracious. This is my new most favorite book. So magical and full of life. I'd seen the movie but never read the book until now. I just adore it.

This book is amazing! Magical story of childhood youthful amazement, friendships, and summer adventures that seem to change your life while they’re happening.

Pure Enchantment

Just when I thought that Amazon Classic audiobooks couldn’t get any better than the last one I listened to, I listened to “The Secret Garden.” A childhood favorite that I always loved. Now at 65 years old I find I am completely captivated by this wonderful production. The narration was superb, perfect in fact. And of course, the story is timeless. Well done, Amazon. I hope you continue to add to narrated Amazon Classics library.

A timeless classic is every sense of the word

I read this book several years ago but decided to listen to it on audible books I'm really glad I did

How has it taken me this long to read this book?

I specifically chose this audio book because I loved Susan Duerden’s performance in The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (5 stars!!). Anyway, wow, is she good at character performances. Another reviewer gave this audio book one star based on Susan’s flat narration, and that reviewer gave up on the book. The reviewer should have stuck with the story, because as events become gradually more and more exciting for our main characters, Susan’s narration becomes more engaging. It was an intentional performance choice by Susan and the director for her to read the novel in a manner that really accentuated Mary’s listless and unpleasant personality, but as Mary’s world began to change (and thus as Mary began to grow), the narration becomes more lively as well.

Wonderful story, wonderful performance.

The Secret Garden

A beautify done edition of a childhood classic well worth listening to !!! It will bring back many memories of the joy of reading as a child .
