Good evening, this is your host Jennifer Ip and welcome to another episode of EGT Reads. In honor of Earth Day, which is coming up, I decided to read an excerpt from “The Secret Garden” by Francis Hodgson Burnett. This literature classic is about a little girl named Mary who is both spoiled and forgotten. She lives in India, where both her parents and her servants died from cholera. She then gets sent to London to live with her hunched-backed uncle, Archibald Craven. Feeling alone and neglected, Mary hears about a locked-up garden from her maid, Martha.
