Not all the versions of The Secret Garden have been books. Some of the best adaptations have been done for other media. Some recommended productions:
The Secret Garden video
This
black-and-white 1949 movie starring Margaret O'Brien and Dean
Stockwell (now on NBC's Quantum Leap) is a suspenseful classic. When
Mary and Dickon first bring Colin, and later his father, Archibald,
into the garden, the picture bursts into Technicolor. A

Imagine what the grown-up Mary would sound like if she were telling
the story. That's what British actress Claire Bloom brings to mind

The Secret Garden on Broadway
When this play opened on Broadway last April, The New Yorker's Mimi
Kramer called the show a ''lovely and evocative musical version of the
children's book.'' Word quickly spread of 11-year-old Daisy Eagan's
performance as Mary and of Heidi Landesman's enchanting set; both won
Tony awards. B+
