The Secret Garden. B1

The Secret Garden is a corner of a park in an English estate, surrounded by high brick walls. The path to its gate has long been overgrown, and no one but the owner and a little thrush knows where the key is hidden. At night, loud crying can be heard in the mansion's corridors, and the owner hardly ever appears. It is to this estate that the orphan Mary arrives—a little girl who loves no one and nothing. Will she find the key to its secrets—and to herself? 'The Secret Garden' by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a classic of English literature. The text has been shortened and adapted for the B1 level. All more complex words can be found in the glossaries located at the end of each chapter. The book concludes with exercises to check comprehension, reinforce new vocabulary, work with text, and practice English grammar.
