While Frances Hodgson Burnett is best known today for her children's novels, Little Lord Fauntleroy, A Little Princess, and The Secret Garden, she was actually a well-established author of short stories and romantic novels for adults well before she ever dipped her toes into the children's literature genre. In this inaugural episode of the podcast, we introduce audiences to Burnett's 1896 best-seller, A Lady of Quality.

Dorin and Kendyl talk the magic of The Secret Garden (2020), the themes it pulls from the source material, and the changes made.

Question of the Week: What do you think the theme of this movie was? Do you think it was successfully communicated?
