Summary
Harriet Walter and Beryl Reid star in this full-cast adaptation of the much-loved children's classic.
When spoilt young orphan Mary Lennox is brought back from India to live in her uncle's house on the Yorkshire Moors, she finds the blunt ways of the staff at Misselthwaite Manor an unpleasant shock. Bored and miserable, it seems as though life in England will be awful. But Misselthwaite has hidden delights, and when Mary begins to discover them, nothing is the same again. First there is the secret garden - and with it comes a boy who knows all the wonders of the country. He can even talk to the birds! Then, as the old house gives up its biggest secret, Mary forms a magical friendship.
Frances Hodgson Burnett's charming story is played out with all the freshness and warmth of the original novel in this BBC Radio full-cast dramatization.

Review
I liked that the story was told through speech to get across character but one thing it is missing is action unless the characters actually say “I am doing jumping jacks.”
I still think the “readers” were great though however there wasn’t much Yorkshirian in it.

Dramatised British children’s classic
Ever since I was a child I have loved this story and I am many years past childhood now.
I have many versions, mainly unabridged readings, most beautifully read but this is my favourite dramatised version. It has an excellent cast, keeps the essence of the original story as we all know dramas need to cut and has all the quality hallmarks you expect from the BBC.
For kids it’s a good story, for adults it’s a delight and quite possibly a trip down memory lane.
Enjoy! I have many, many times.

no sigue el texto. lo cogí para mejorar en inglés
lo cogí para mejorar en inglés pensando que al tener diferentes voces sería más ameno, pero me he descargado 3 veces el libro y ninguno es así. han hecho un resumen y se han quedado tan anchos. llevo 30 min repitiendo los primeros 10min buscando como seguirlo con una lectura pero me doy por vencida.. he perdido un crédito para nada..
