Hidden Treasure 12 months ago

The Secret Garden

Having seen the film and loved it I wasn’t suprised I loved this book!

It’s one of the few classic childrens books I never read as a child. I think if I had owned it when I was young it would now be the worn out, well read, book at the front of the bookshelf!

Is it ok to buy childrens books for yourself over the age of 20?!
