A reader of The Secret Garden wrote to ask whether the author had owned the original of its robin. Burnett answers in this short memoir: she did not own him, he owned her. She describes the wild English robin who befriended her in the rose-garden at her Kent home, came when she called and behaved with an almost human courtesy toward her and her guests.
