  "The Secret Garden," written by Frances Hodgson Burnett in the late 19th century, tells the story of Mary Lennox, a spoiled and unhappy child who becomes orphaned and is sent to live with her reclusive uncle at the mysterious Misselthwaite Manor. As Mary explores the manor's enchanting yet neglected gardens, including a hidden garden that has been locked away for years, she begins a journey of self-discovery, healing, and friendship. 
  At the beginning of the book, we meet Mary Lennox, who is left alone in a foreign land after a cholera outbreak claims her parents' lives. Sent to England to live with her uncle, Mary soon realizes she is largely forgotten and left to her own devices. The opening chapters illustrate her initial experiences with the manor, highlighting her disdain for her new environment and her feelings of loneliness. This sets the stage for her growth and the adventures that lie ahead as she uncovers the garden's hidden beauty and forms connections with others, ultimately transforming her character and outlook on life.

  Street The (Unabridged)

  The story traces the history of the titular street in a New England city, presumably Boston, from its first beginnings as "but a path" in colonial times to a quasi-supernatural occurrence in the years immediately following World War I. As the city grows up around the street, it is planted with many trees and built along with "simple, beautiful houses of brick and wood", each with a rose garden. As the Industrial Revolution runs its course, the area degenerates into a run-down and polluted slum, with all of the street's old houses falling into disrepair.
  After World War I and the October Revolution, the area becomes home to a community of Russian immigrants. Among the new residents is the leadership of a "vast band of terrorists," who are plotting the destruction of the United States on Independence Day. When the day arrives, the terrorists gather to do the deed, but before they can get started, all the houses in the street collapse concurrently on top of each other, killing them all. Observers at the scene testify that immediately after the collapse, they experienced visions of the trees and rose gardens that had once been in the street.

  W B Yeats

  William Butler Yeats was born in Sandymount in County Dublin, Ireland on 13th June 1865. 
  His early years moved between Ireland and England. By his mid-teens he was writing but those works were described as ‘entirely Un-Irish’.  With Ernest Rhys he founded the Rhymers Club. Based at Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese in Fleet Street it’s best described as a drinking club for performing poets.  Yeats later cited them as ‘The Tragic Generation’.  By now Yeats was writing and publishing poetry and stories that were profoundly based in Irish folklore.   
  Yeats is perhaps best described as Ireland’s national poet in addition to being one of the major twentieth-century literary figures of the English tongue. He represents the ‘Romantic poet of modernism,’ with an extraordinary style created from the outward emphasis on the expression of emotions and the extensive use of symbolism, imagery and allusions.  
  In 1923 his fame was brought to an even wider audience when he received the Nobel Prize in Literature.  
  His personal life was driven by his many relationships in love and by his great interest in oriental mysticism and occultism.  Yeats also wrote prose and drama and, as an ardent Nationalist, established himself as a spokesman of the Irish cause and served as an Irish senator for two terms.  
  W B Yeats died at the Hôtel Idéal Séjour, in Menton, France, on 28th January 1939.  He was 73.
