秘密花园 Mi mi hua yuan (Mandarin Graded Readers, Level 1)

The way the garden transforms the characters feels so symbolic—I'm curious what inspired her to highlight nature’s restorative magic.

Her shift from spoiled to caring felt sudden at times, but also inspiring. What moments made her transformation feel most real to others?

The detailed descriptions really brought the place to life. I wonder if Burnett visited similar estates or relied on imagination and research.
