Forty years later, I still have the book: a hardback with a light green cover showing a girl standing at a garden door, poised to enter. I received The Secret Garden for Christmas the year I was ten, and although the memories of most childhood presents have long since faded, I remember that gift with vivid clarity. I spent the afternoon of Christmas Day lying on my stomach on the rust shag carpeting of the living room, avidly turning pages, absorbed in the story of a young girl who found an abandoned garden where she could become her most authentic self.
