I thought the photo was like a lovely impressionistic painting and had to look closely to see her. The one on the left shows her sitting in her garden at Maytham Hall. Two of the photos that I thought were quite lovely are below. The book was also filled with wonderful photos and illustrations. What an interesting character was FHB! She was not at all what I expected, but I enjoyed getting to know so much about her personality and her life. She was also an avid gardener, and created three special gardens over her lifetime - one in England, one in the United States, and one in Bermuda. This book goes into great detail about each of those gardens and about the life of FHB herself. She wrote The Secret Garden and A Little Princess, two of my all time favorite books. My sister-in-law recently sent me a lovely gift - a copy of Marta McDowell’s new book, Unearthing the Secret Garden: The Plants and Places that Inspired Frances Hodgson Burnett.įrances Hodgson Burnett is one of my favorite authors. If you love gardens and are interested in the lives of authors, Marta McDowell writes books for you to love.
