The Secret Garden

After being quite poorly this week and not really being able to get out of the house much, I've been watching some of my favourite childhood films to cheer myself up. Tonight's film of choice is The Secret Garden. I studied the book in my children's literature class at University and have watched the film countless times. Usually I prefer book versions to films but I think that the novel becomes a bit too focused on Colin rather than Mary's story and the magic of the garden. That said, it's still a beautiful story (albeit slightly scary if you're yougn) and it's still one of my favourite films.
