整个世界就是一个花园，无论是孩子还是成人，人人都可能丢失开启这秘密花园的钥匙。痛苦是人心灵深处坚固的秘密，往往被人不由自主地坚守着。漫漫无期的压抑和时不时歇斯底里的发作，会不断侵蚀我们的灵魂。如果你总是心情糟糕、容易生气，就会慢慢看不见秘密花园里美妙的景色，感受不到沼泽地吹拂而来的和风。

此书用爱的魔力唤醒我们沉睡中的美丽花园，使我们和书中小主人公们的美好心灵息息相通。在阅读这本书的时候，读者们也可以充分感受到大自然那神奇的力量。《秘密花园》是公认的无年龄界限的经典之作，也是一部打通雅俗界限的文学作品。

The Secret Garden《秘密花园》主要讲述了一个任性而孤僻的富家小女孩玛丽因为一场突来的瘟疫变成了孤儿，被送往英国一处古老庄园里的亲戚家中收养。在幽僻宁静的乡野和淳朴的乡人中间，她的性情渐渐变得平易。一天深夜，循着神秘大宅长廊一端传来的隐隐哭声，她被带到了一个同样古怪而孤独的小生命面前。玛丽的表兄，大宅的少主人科林生来体弱，长年卧病在床，性情乖戾难测。为了帮助科林，玛丽带他进入了庄园里被关闭多年的秘密花园。孩子们在生机蓬勃的小天地里不受干扰地玩耍，学会了友爱待人，恢复了纯真快乐的天性。

Frances Hodgson Burnett弗朗西丝·霍奇森·伯内特（1849-1924），世界家喻户晓的儿童文学作家，1849年出生于英国曼彻斯特，1865年随全家移民美国田纳西州，代表作The Secret Garden《秘密花园》（1911）、A Little Princess《小公主》（1905）、Little Lord Fauntleroy《小勋爵》（1855-6）。

Frances Hodgson Burnett(1849-1924) was born in Manchester, England, on November 24, 1849, and emigrated with her family in 1865 to Tennessee, where she lived near Knoxville until her marriage to Dr. S.M. Burnett in 1873. At eighteen, she began publishing her stories in magazines such as Godey’s Lady Book and Scribner’s. At 28, her novel That Lass O’Lowries, based on the colliery life she had known in England, became her first success. But the children’s story she published in 1886, Little Lord Fauntleroy, is what made her famous. Its hero’s long curls and velvet suit with lace collar became a popular fashion for little boys. Little Lord Fauntleroy was also successfully dramatized, just as a later novel, Sara Crewe, became the much better-known stage play, The Little Princess (1905). While laying out a garden at her new home in Long Island, Burnett conceived and wrote The Secret Garden (1911), her best and most enduring work.
