What a treat Miranda. I did a double take when you showed the edition illustrated by Angela Barrett because it triggered such a strong memory so I rushed up to the "children's" section of my bookshelves and found our copy which I bought for my daughter, Léonie, and was delighted to see her bookplate and to remember happy times reading it to her all those years ago. Thank you so much for this lovely video, happy reading, Teresa 🌸

My daughter Lucy is 7 and she also has a Secret Garden collection and she adored this video. I have some ideas now for Christmas and birthdays. ❤

Beautiful selection of copies of ‘The Secret Garden’ & all beautifully illustrated. I have never read the book 📕 but watched the film with my children many times. I always dreamt of having a walled secret garden 🪴 Thank you, Karen 🌺

I have always loved Tasha Tudor's illustrations, especially those which incorporate the corgis. A friend of mine knew Tasha Tudor. Whenever Ms. Tudor's travels brought her to our area, we got to visit with her. She always seemed very ethereal and reserved. (The Secret Garden is one of my all-time favorite books.)

Hi Miranda, I clicked this video so fast! The Secret Garden is my all time favorite children’s book. It was so magical to me as a child, & I can’t count how many times I have read it. I remember just being absolutely beside myself when I realized they made a movie of it! I still love to watch the movie to this day. However, I haven’t read the book in many years. I’m inspired by you, to do so. The copy I have is the last one you showed. It is my favorite version as well. Thanks for a great video, made my day! 😀 📖 💐

Thank you so much for the lovely video 📚📚♥♥👒👒

Thank you for this extra video Miranda 💐my first edition of The Secret Garden was on audio cassette, read by the actress Claire Bloom which was a birthday present when I was about five! Since then I’ve been enchanted by it and have collected various editions, my favourite being the one illustrated by Tasha Tudor

I'm listening to the secret garden(Audiobook) right in this moment 🥰🌷, I'm so happy about your video now💕💚🌸🌸

Your favorite is mine. I am American and this illustrated book started my love of all things English. I went to London for the first time last summer and we did a train trip to York. It was magical, however my dream of seeing an English Robin didn’t happen. I hope it will someday. Love your channel. I also hope to visit Tasha Tudor’s garden this summer.

Oooo “The Secret Garden” is one of my and my children’s favorite books, you are amazing, thank you! 📚🙏🩵

[brenana]

Tasha Tudor is the one I remember and love too. Thanks for reminding me. I love your collection.❤

Oh, what a beautiful collection!
Honestly, I‘ve sometimes felt a bit guilty when i‘d buy yet another edition of one of my favorites, seeing as a) shelf space is precious and b) there are sooo many other books I‘d like to get.
But, those special editions of my favorites just make my heart sing. And thanks to book tube and collectors like you, Miranda, I now know I‘m not alone in feeling there is no such thing as too many editions of your personal favorites. ❤📚📚📚☺️ Loved the extra video. Such a treat! Have a lovely weekend, Monica from tiny-town Austria

This was such an unexpected treat, I had just sat down to enjoy a restorative cup of tea. I was thrilled to see your collection of The Secret Garden books, I really didn’t know there were so many beautiful editions. It’s such a wonderful concept ‘a secret garden’ and I loved seeing all the different interpretations of how it was illustrated, it’s a flight for the imagination and an inspiration. My favourite is also the one illustrated by Tasha Tudor. I was very lucky to find a vintage copy, which I treasure. I loved rereading this book with the comfort book club, it was such a lovely start to Spring.

[maryfagan]

For sentimental reasons, I love the hardback illustrated edition published by Purnell which was a present from my late father.My favourite editions are probably those illustrated by Inga Moore and Tasha Tudor although the ones illustrated by Robert Ingpen, Graham Rust, Michael Hague and Jenny Williams are lovely too.I would also recommend The Annotated Secret Garden edited by Gretchen Gerzina which contains illustrations by several different artists including Tasha Tudor.

[Penny-wsmz]

What a lovely collection. The illustrations in the edition you highlighted for the Comfort Book Club remind me of paintings by Vanessa Bell. And what a gorgeous mug with all the spring flowers, a perfect pick me up this time of year.

[donnamacdonald]

I haven't read The Secret Garden in years but recently rented the audiobook from my library and I had forgotten how lyrical the writing is. I have two versions: the one illustrated by Tasha Tudor and the one illustrated by Inga Moore. I bought the Moore version because it is exquisite but I feel it's too bulky to hold and read. I will begin reading the Tudor one as soon as I finish I Capture the Castle which I read at the start of every spring. Lovely vlogcast Miranda. Thank you.

[staciewaddell]

What a fun video. Thoroughly enjoyed this. An extra video from you is a real treat. I hope you’ll consider doing more edition “tours” in the future. That quirky edition you showed is so intriguing! Tasha Tudor is my favorite too.
Just to add… those Penguin Threads editions are delightful. I have Black Beauty… wish I had more.

[eileennielsen]

Oh my! What a beautiful collection! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing those with us. I only have one book of the Secret Garden. Tasha Tudor and Eloise Wilkins are my 2 favorite children's illustrators. I use to have a HUGE collection of Tasha Tudor books, prints, her sketch book, every published book about her, note pads, magazine articles ( usually Victoria mag.), A book about her Dollhouse, her Corgi dogs, her children; everything and anything I could get my hands on regarding her. I read her biography, she had a very interesting childhood. A New Englander like me 😊. I collect versions of Little Women and Wuthering Heights my absolute 2 favorite books. I have an edition of each w/ letters, maps, etc. like your Secret Garden. Illustrated by Marjolein Bastin(sp?). Thank you for taking the time to do this, , just lovely. I'm reading ANNE for April's bookclub. Can't wait! 🤗
