I know you were thrille...That's so exciting!!! I know you were thrilled.<br /><br />My favorite book by Ms Burnett is The Secret Garden. I read it several times growing up. On a trip to a favorite book store, I found a hardback copy with beautiful illustrations by Tasha Tudor (my favorite artist). It even had a ribbon bookmarker! JOY! All of this for only $6.00<br /><br />Our local theater company recently did a production of The Secret Garden and I was so excited to attend. My daughter got tickets and we attended together with my eight-year-old grandson. Imagine my shock when I saw ghosts and evil spirits in the play. Not only that, but there was a long and very loud scene where the characters and ghosts danced around the crippled boy - casting a spell to heal him. I was horrified!!! I certainly don't remember any such thing in the book, and am going to re-read it to make sure.
