The Secret Garden, Dickon
A moor boy who talks to foxes, seeds and trowels bought with saved pennies, and a bit of earth granted.
Retold for sleep from The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett, first published in 1911 and long out of copyright. The story is Burnett's; every sentence here is our own.
Tender and reassuring, steady when things aren't, present and calm without ever overpromising.
