One for budding artists out there. The Times newspaper is running a competition for children aged 7-12 to design a new cover for Frances Hodgson Burnett’s classic book ‘The Secret Garden’. The cover has to be on A4 paper without any writing – just the drawing. Random House publishers are giving away a £100 of children’s books to the winners, £50 and £30 to the runners-up. The deadline is July 23rd.
I’d recommend reading the book first to get the flavour of the story. It was set in late Victorian times in a grand house in the Yorkshire countryside.
