"I was read this book as a little tot, but I liked it so much I read it again myself at about age 12. Then I managed to find a paperback copy (My mother's original hardback was burned in a house fire.) I read it to my three children and then my Grandchildren. I couldn't resist looking for a hardcover copy to read my Great-grandchildren. This story has misterious parts, sad parts, funny parts, and loving parts. And of course a nice happy ending. I can hardly wait until my new book , "The Screte Garden" arrives. It's always had a special place in my heart."
"Apa yang tersembunyi dalam "Taman Rahasia" sehingga bisa membuat Mary dan Collin berubah secara drastis? Benarkah magic? Mungkin itu yang dipikirkan oleh anak-anak seusia Collin dan Mary, anak-anak yang punya dunianya sendiri. Dengan dibantu oleh Dickon, seorang anak berusia 12 tahun yang mencintai alam dan dicintai alam. Yang memberikan pandangan-pandangan lain terhadap Mary & Collin.
Musim semi, musim yang selalu di identikkan dengan kehidupan yang baru, awal mula suatu kehidupan. Tunas-tunas yang selalu tumbuh di saat musim semi serta hujan dan matahari yang besahabat. Hal ini yang tergambar dalam buku ini, secara tidak langsung menunjukan keajaiban musim semi. Mungkin ini yang ingin di gambarkan oleh Penulisnya, perubahan positif yang terjadi di setiap tokoh dalam buku ini dengan menggunakan Musim Semi sebagai benang merah-nya. Memulai suatu yang baru, menuju suatu kehidupan yang bahagia.
Dan semuanya pun berakhir bahagia, se-indah dan penuh warna layaknya musim semi."
"Missed this book as a kid. Think I liked adventure rather than saccharin fairy tales. But now I like the sweetness and good endings. I can see why it is a great book for kids. Very visual."
