The Secret Garden is a children's novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, published in 1911. It is one of the most popular children's books ever written and a classic of juvenile literature. It features a Victorian-era protagonist orphaned as an infant who is living in poverty with her cruel aunt and her spoiled cousin Colin. In February 2018, The Secret Garden was legally published for the first time as a free ebook on Project Gutenberg, against the copyright owner’s will or permission to do so. It was self-published to the Internet Archive by a bot, against the website's terms of service. The book became one of the most popular books on Project Gutenberg with almost 3.5 million downloads in its first week after publication, and made the site crash on the day it was released.[1][2][3] As of February 9, 2018, the e-book is not available for download at Project Gutenberg. The Secret Garden has been translated into more than 40 languages,[4] including Latin and even Esperanto. It has also been adapted multiple times for film, for television and theater.[5] A version by Simon & Schuster is currently in print under that title. The American composer Roger Quilter set the novel to music as the one-act opera The Village Girl (1921), with a libretto by R. J. M. Hardie, produced by Horace Liveright at the Theatre Masque in New York City on 21 November 1921.[6][7] In 1924, Basil Rathbone starred as Archibald Craven in a silent film version of The Secret Garden, produced and distributed by Fox Film Corporation.[8][9] A new adaptation was released in 1993 under the title "The Secret Garden". It featured a score by Rachel Portman and starred Kate Maberly, Gary Oldman and John Lynch. The BBC televised the 1962 BBC Television Play, The Secret Garden; this was first broadcast on BBC One on 31 July 1962, and was presented by Jean Kent. The book has been frequently featured in children's education programmes such as Sesame Street and in books such as The Enid Blyton Treasury.[10] The American dramatist Horton Foote adapted the novel for his 1977 play Secret Garden [11] which was produced Off-Broadway at the Circle in the Square Theatre in 1977 and then in a Broadway production in 1978 (like all of Foote's plays, it starred Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy). A South Korean television production followed in 1979, and a Russian television series was produced from 1982–83. In 2005 a musical adaptation of the story was staged at the Sunderland Empire Theatre in England, directed by Jack Scofield, starring Lucy Dodson as Margaret and Paul Kline as Colin. In 2012 a stage production of The Secret Garden opened on Broadway at the Longacre Theatre. It was directed by Michael Greif and starred Louis Zorich as Colin and Isabel Keating as Mary Lennox. In 2014, it moved to the John Golden Theatre where it ran until February 2015. It was nominated for three Tony Awards including Best Musical. cfa1e77820
