The Secret Garden

Having a sore lymphoid node, I needed something to happy to read. This is when I found this book on amazon (I read story-lines of many books before choosing this), it's kindle edition free to read. I was about a seemingly selfish girl of British parents in British-India flown away to her homeland. She was a kid that was never loved by anyone and only memories she had was of slave Indians and a feeling of being boss.
The book describes how her behaviour evolves in the moors of Britain as she meets various people there.  Of course there a secret garden and a friend, a boy whom I became much fond of as everybody is in the book. One who could talk with animals, a wild amiable boy with a pet wolf, crow, two squirrels and a small wild horse.
Besides the girl there is one more who finds his loving nature while they play in the secret garden, the girl's cousin.
Deep inside the  book gives glimpse of the class divide in England. It shows more of the high class side of the picture, probably because the author is more familiar with this. Country-side is always happy and romantic. Yet, I too longed for being in the moors with the wild amiable boy; may be being himself.
