And in an interlude from the "Making of" posts on the stop motion trailer....
Right now I'm listening to "The Secret Garden" on Audiobook. For a Victorian girly book about frolicking in the garden amongst the roses and listening to the robins sing, it has one of the most over the top brutal and hysterical openings ever. Frances Hodgson Burnett really didn't pull any punches on the description of Mary Lennox, "the most disagreeable-looking child ever seen". In case you haven't read (or listened to it) she's so disliked by everyone around her, that she's left behind in a village in India when there's a cholera epidemic.

Now I want to read that book again! Love the meanness in this drawing. I mean that in the nicest way.

My favorite book of all time! The movie released in the nineties found a particularly sour looking young actress, and even better casting for Collin.
