'The Secret Garden' - Frances Hodgson Burnett

Rediscovered why I loved this book, when I read it in my 8th standard. Read this book, because was planning to see the movie (Saw amazing sketches of the garden - done by Stuart Craig). It brings alive childhood, its innocence and most of all the energy. Descriptions that makes you actually smell, and feel fresh earth after rains, cool breeze and dream about spring. Brings home beauty of the Yorkshire hills and meadows that you would want to just throw yourself on dew-dampened grass and look at the blue blue sky. Anyone who is an avid reader, please do pick up a copy. Even if you had read it long time back, like me, read it once more. Never have I felt this fresh after reading a book. And a motivation to remain so.
