London: William Heinemann,, 1911. Finely bound children's classic with onlay to front First UK edition, first impression. The Secret Garden first appeared in a publication aimed at adults, The American Magazine, serialized between November 1910 and August 1911, one of the earliest examples of a children's story first appearing in a magazine with an adult readership. The book was first published in the summer of 1911 by Frederick A. Stokes in New York, followed a few weeks later by the UK edition. The American edition was illustrated by M. B. Kork, whereas the English edition has illustrations by the prolific illustrator Charles Robinson, whose younger brothers Thomas Heath Robinson and William Heath Robinson also became illustrators. Born in Manchester, England, Burnett moved several times back and forth between England and America, before adopting US citizenship in 1905. The novel was mainly written in Buile Hill Park while visiting Manchester in 1904, but published while she was living in Plandome Manor, New York. During her lifetime her rags-to-riches story Little Lord Fauntleroy (1886) was a publishing sensation, although over the years The Secret Garden has retained the popularity that Little Lord Fauntleroy has lost. Octavo.
