Ep 17 - The Secret Garden (1993)
Episode description
Briana and Maddy are isolated on the Yorkshire Moors when they discover a lost key. Little did they know that it would lead to a Secret Garden. Brought up selfish and overindulged, if you listen closely, you can hear them bickering. But, thanks to a magic chant spoken around a midnight fire to the beat of an ancient dance under the full moon they are able to resolve their differences and grow as people.
This week we discuss Frances Hodgson Burnett's 1911 novel, The Secret Garden. We watched the 1993 film adaptation starring Kate Maberly, Maggie Smith, Heydon Prowse, and Andrew Knott. The 2020 film adaptation will be covered in Part 2.
This is one of our favourite books we have read for the podcast so if you have not read it already, we strongly recommend you do. A spark of magic is always good for you.
