I haven't read this in decades and it was interesting to read it as an adult. It's a love song to fresh air and gardens and wise, caring mums.

This is one of my favorite stories of all time, I've always liked the movie (it is actually my favorite movie of all time) and this is the first time that I actually read the book and it didn't disappoint, the story is as magical as I remembered it.
I'm not giving it 5 stars because I had some issues with the pacing at some points, I thought that this being a children story shouldn't have that problem, but I feel like it does.
Regardless, I LOVED IT. Love the message.
