  'What happened then, some would say, was almost magic.'
  Disregarded and disobedient, ten-year-old Mary Lennox is sent from India to Yorkshire, and put into the care of an uncle she has never met.
  At Misselthwaite Manor, a brokenhearted house full of secrets and strange noises, Mary discovers a garden as lost and neglected as she is. If she can learn to make friends with robins, grumpy gardeners and a boy who speaks to animals, Mary might be able to bring more than just the garden back to life…
  The Secret Garden, Frances Hodgson Burnett's tale about the magic of nature and the nature of magic, has been a beloved and quietly radical classic of children's literature since its publication in 1911. Holly Robinson and Anna Himali Howard's thrillingly adventurous adaptation was first performed at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre, London, in 2024.

  LibriVox volunteers bring you 17 recordings of Two Musicians by Sarah Orne Jewett. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for January 16, 2011.She published her first important story in the Atlantic Monthly at age 19, and her reputation grew throughout the 1870s and 1880s. Her literary importance arises from her careful, if subdued, vignettes of country life that reflect a contemporary interest in local color rather than plot. Jewett possessed a keen descriptive gift that William Dean Howells called "an uncommon feeling for talk — I hear your people." (summary by Wikipedia)

  Songs of Innocence and of...

  William Blake

  Songs of Innocence and of Experience pairs luminous, childlike wonder with sharp, unsettling truth. In the first half, innocence speaks through images of lambs, children, and quiet faith in a world that feels gentle and protected. In the second, that vision cracks open—revealing a darker reality shaped by poverty, authority, and human suffering.
  
  Through deceptively simple poems and unforgettable images, the collection explores how joy and cruelty, hope and corruption, innocence and knowledge all exist side by side. The result is a powerful poetic conversation about what it means to grow up—and to truly see the world.
  William Blake was an English poet, painter, and printmaker whose visionary work blended poetry, art, and spiritual philosophy. Often considered ahead of his time, Blake created richly symbolic works that challenged social injustice and conventional religion. Songs of Innocence and of Experience, first published in 1794, is among his most celebrated creations and a cornerstone of English Romantic poetry.
