“After the death of her parents, spoiled, abrasive Mary is sent to live with her Uncle Archibald at Misselthwaite Manor in Yorkshire. With animated comments and apt characterizations, the cast of narrators describe how Mary discovers an abandoned secret garden and a host of unlikely friends, including plainspoken gardener Ben Weatherstaff, frail and demanding cousin Colin, and kind Dickon, who brings out the best in all living things. Engaging and well-placed sound effects–birdsong, pounding rain, footsteps on gravel–augment the production and create a full-bodied sense of place. This audiobook is a treasure and is sure to captivate listeners of all ages.” – AudioFile Magazine Review
