Illustrated by
Scott McKowen.
The time-tested classic about orphaned Mary Lennox and the neglected walled garden she returns to life is presented with a ribbon bookmark and a list of open-ended questions ("Is an absent father worse than a bad father?") for readers to ponder or discuss. A handful of scratchboard vignette illustrations repeat as chapter headings throughout the book.
