Summary
Summary
Alison Larkin’s Earphones Award-winning recordings of Jane Eyre and The Secret Garden are brought together in this powerful double bill. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte is the epic love story of the plain, unwanted orphan with an indomitable spirit who becomes a great romantic heroine despite all odds. The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett is the story of Mary Lennox, who, when her parents die of cholera, is sent to live with her uncle in a cold, dark mansion in England. There, she discovers a secret garden that has been locked for 10 years. “As an orphan myself, these two great novels affected me deeply as a child. Narrating them as an adult was a privilege and showed me that the courage it takes for an unwanted girl to forge her own path in the world is the same today as it was when these two masterpieces were written...” (Alison Larkin)Author
Author Bio: Charlotte Brontë
Charlotte Brontë (1816–1855) grew up in the isolated parsonage at Haworth, Yorkshire, where her father was curate. She and her sisters Emily and Anne thrived in fantasy worlds that drew on their voracious reading of Shakespeare, romantic, and gothic fiction. Charlotte was employed as a teacher and a governess before she began writing with her sisters. The Professor, her first novel, was rejected for publication until 1857, although Jane Eyre, published in 1847 under a pseudonym, achieved great success.
Author Bio: Frances Hodgson Burnett
Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849–1924) was an English-born author of romances and books for children. After moving to America in 1865, she established a popular reputation with the publication of That Lass o’ Lowrie’s in 1877. She is best known for such novels as Little Lord Fauntleroy, A Little Princess, and The Secret Garden.
