The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett

Mary Lennox is a spoiled, middle-class, self-centered child who has been recently orphaned. She is accepted into the quiet and remote country house of her uncle, who has almost completely withdrawn into himself after the death of his wife. Mary gradually becomes drawn into the hidden side of the house: Why does she hear the crying of a unseen child? And Why is there an overgrown, walled garden, its door long locked?

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a children’s novel written by L. Frank Baum. It has since been reprinted numerous times, most often under the name The Wizard of Oz, which is the name of both the stage play and the extremely popular, highly acclaimed film version.

The timeless story of the Wizard Of Oz, follows Dorothy as she leaves Kansas for Oz on a cyclone. She meets many strange, and wonderful people and creatures along the way.

Thanks in part to the movie, it is one of the best-known stories in American popular culture and has been widely translated. Its initial success, and the success of the popular Broadway musical Baum adapted from his story, led to Baum’s writing thirteen more Oz books.
