Why did Frances Hodgson Burnett write the Secret Garden?
Burnett wrote the novel shortly after returning to England in 1898, where she had rented a country house and absorbed herself in her passion for gardening. At that time, a walled-in rose garden served as her outdoor workroom, and was the place where she wrote the better part of The Secret Garden.
