The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett - 1911

This is a wonderful condition copy of "THE SECRET GARDEN" by Frances Hodgson Burnett with its scarcely found original dust jacket. 1911 1st edition thus; Grosset & Dunlap; New York. The dust jacket comes with a clear, protective sleeve (not shown). Hard to find in this condition, and with the dust jacket.

From the dust jacket: "This is a most beautiful and inspiring story, full of tenderness and charm. There is mystery in it and the suspense is maintained to the very end. There is 'magic' - the magic of love, the magic of growth, the magic of the joy of living. The secret garden, walled in and locked for years, is almost a character in the story. Dickon, who can make anything grow, and is loved by all living things; dear wise Mother Sowerby; Colin, the invalid; the willful Mary; Ben Weatherstaff; and by no means least, the joyous little robin, who also plays his part - all are figures to delight the imaginative and to live in the memory indefinitely."

Condition:
Clean covers and spine; sharp corners; there are a couple of small scratches on the front cover illustration. Tight binding with no cracks and no loose pages. Clean pages with no issues found - the pages nearly appear unread. Previous owner's name label affixed to the front end paper. Overall the book is in great condition. Very nice dust jacket with only some tiny tears at the top and bottom edges of the spine.
