Rezension von EmiloSo ein schönes Kinderbuch, das auch psychologische Tiefe hat. als Erwachsene fällt einem doch vieles auf.
Rezension von Sierra Gilbride“I shall find out about people and creatures and everything that grows…I shall never stop making Magic! I’m well! I’m well! I feel- I feel as if I want to shout something, something thankful, joyful” I remember this book making an impact as a child. Now I’m overcome with appreciation for it and its author as I read from my Tyrol, having my own Archibald. In its pages are true Magic, and can bring anyone up out of their seats with a zeal for life and its wonders.
Rezension von CarinaThis was such a beautiful read. I had heard only good things about it and to be honest I was sceptical but it delivered just fine! Such an enchanting story!!
Rezension von LucyUnexpected Highlight A book I didn’t know I exactly needed right now. I really got the timing perfectly, reading it just as spring was beginning. You can really feel nature waking up, and the book touches on important themes like mental illness, healing through nature, and positive thinking. I absolutely love how the children keep everything secret from the adults. It’s their own world, their own imagination. Dickon is such a Fairy Man. He loves nature, animals, and plants, and helps Mary and Colin so much. Colin starts out completely withdrawn, anxious, and depressed, but through the garden and his friends he becomes happy and self-confident. I also loved Mary’s development: from a lonely girl who hates everyone to someone who realises that mutual love brings so much joy. Another point to reflect on is that lonely and abandoned children aren’t to blame for how they grow up. Of course, you have to keep in mind that some parts reflect what was considered normal at the time, for example statements about people from India or other cultures. Today, this is unacceptable, and it should be viewed critically, but it doesn’t make the story any worse. Despite all that, I really enjoyed the book and loved how the story develops. It’s magical, healing, and simply a book that gives you good feelings.
