The Secret Garden - On a Diet: Abridged

By Francis Hodgson Burnett

The Secret Garden -- On a Diet This is an abridged version of The Secret Garden and a modern translation of the dialect. The Secret Garden by Francis Hodgson Burnett has been a popular book for almost a century, but age is catching up with it. Two issues are evident: yards of description and nearly impenetrable dialect. Readers today have seen settings such as castles and sprawling manor houses, so paragraphs of description are no longer necessary. Dialect has almost disappeared from popular writing. Readers find the sentence "Nowt o' th' soart!" baffling. I've put The Secret Garden on a diet and reduced to 20 percent of its original size. Get on with the story!
