Beautifully Illustrated
Made To Treasure

A beloved classic transformed into a work of art

Frances Hodgson Burnett's timeless story of transformation and healing comes alive in this extraordinary edition from MinaLima, the award-winning design studio behind the Harry Potter films. Every page is a visual treasure, bringing the magic of Misselthwaite Manor and its hidden garden to life through intricate illustrations and enchanting design details that honour the spirit of the original whilst creating something entirely new.

The complete, unabridged text follows Mary Lennox's journey from lonely, difficult child to discovering friendship, nature's healing power, and the secret garden that changes everything. But this edition offers something more—ten interactive paper-engineered elements that invite readers to unfold a map of the secret garden, turn a dial showing how plants grow through the seasons, dress a paper doll of Mary, and read the letter from Dickon's sister that first tells of the garden's mystery. Each interactive feature deepens the connection to the story, making readers feel as though they too are discovering hidden treasures.

MinaLima's signature aesthetic—rich with gold foiling, embossed details, and full-colour illustrations throughout all 384 pages—transforms this into a gift-quality edition that demands to be savoured slowly. From the layout of the manor house and grounds to the smallest botanical detail, every design choice reflects the care Burnett herself described in her tale of bringing dead things back to life.

Suitable for children aged 9 years and up
