I've looked high and low for another one like it and will keep looking. I *loved* this book and had a great leather bound copy that somehow got lost in a move across the country.

I love the feel of them and the color too. In fact, I actually painted my dining room table to match a couple weeks ago. Divine!

Thank you Pia for sharing this. I am working on a special project for the centennial celebration of its original publication. Seeing your 'library' has inspired me to keep going with it. Kudos and blessings to you, dear Pia! The Secret Garden is my all time favorite children’s book, having grown up in the UK, and just loving gardens regardless. Thank you Pia for sharing this.

I will see if my parents still have the copies they read to me every night. It is definitely difficult to read and write at the same time. Too many words for our brain to process!

I have fond memories of that book. And I, too, have a horrible time trying to keep up with both writing and reading at the same time.
