Elaine is a spoiled, troubled child who finds the love of a family and of Christ. The garden is really a minor part of the story and in my opinion didn't work as well as it could have. I did not enjoy this much as a child, but as an adult I did enjoy the book, once I got over the desire for more of the garden. Zeige 5 von 5 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
When she is sent from her London home to live in the Welsh countryside with the large, boisterous Owen family, eleven-year-old Elaine feels miserable and resentful until she discovers an abandoned garden and determines to make it her secret sanctuary. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

If this sounds a bit like a cut-rate Secret Garden, you're not entirely wrong, though the garden is only really important in the first half of the story. The main plot centers on Elaine's discovery of Christianity and the development of her newfound faith. It's all terribly earnest, as is typical of mid-century religious writing for children, though there's some adventure by way of a mountain holiday and a desperate robber toward the end of the book. I can see this book finding a place in a church library. My edition says it's been revised with more modern language, but I'm not familiar with the original, so I can't tell you what's been changed.
