Rating:  - The Secret Garden
The acting was terrible. The girl began with an English accent, then lost it halfway through the movie. The original Secret Garden is MUCH better.

Rating: - book or film review?
Amazon's reviewing system isn't working for this BOOK - most of the reviews seem to be for a film version - and one that is not in keeping with the book at all, as well.

A message to all of those who worry about 'Pagan' content in children's books: forget Harry Potter and the Wizard of Oz - everybody recognizes those as fantasies. The Secret Garden is the ... Read More
