21* Summary: "Mary leaned back against the door to the secret garden and took a deep breath. She closed her eyes and savoured the smells of early spring, carried on the damp breeze that chilled her cheeks and made her wish she could pull off her shoes and stockings and run barefoot over the grass."

35* Summary: There is another garden, in India. These are the women of that garden, over two generations, Mary's mother and ayah, and both their two daughters. In the end, I'm afraid, this is only where the story begins, but I hope it opens up the original story and takes us out into the world beyond the secret gardens.

49* Summary: An AU of The Secret Garden where the cholera kills Mary's servant, but spares the Lennoxes. A new maid is sent in her place. However, the magic of the secret garden finds it's way in Mary's life nonetheless. I was impressed by the writing here and the empathy given to all the characters.

167* Summary: "There had been no question of Colin's health since his eleventh year when happiness and good exercise had set the crowning touches on their work of putting roses in his cheeks and some solid, boyish weight on his bones. By the time he was mostly grown and ready to be off to the grand school in Scotland, Colin himself sometimes forgot that there had ever been such a sickly, miserable creature as himself at ten years of age. Certainly none of his fellow students in Scotland would have guessed, to see the vivacious young man with whom they shared classes. But it was only among those who remembered that dying child and the Magic that had drawn him back to life that Colin was truly himself."

181* Summary: In the aftermath of WWI, life moves forward: "Tha's in a righ' state, Dickon Sowerby," says a sharp, arrogant voice, in broad Yorkshire. "Is tha going t' look at me, or am I going t' have to drag thee out o' bed? And don't think I won't do it, either. I don't care how many ribs and bones you've broken, or how nasty that inflected shrapnel wound is." Then, as an afterthought, the voice adds, "Good God, you'd think a hospital this side of the channel would be a bit more sanitary. You'll lose that arm if something isn't done quickly, damn it."
