In 1936, a memorial sculpture was erected in Central Park, depicting two characters from THE SECRET GARDEN, Mary and Dickon. THE SECRET GARDEN has also been beautifully adapted by artists, like Maud Begon. Maud Begon was born in Toulouse, France, in 1987. After studying graphic design, she decided to switch paths and dedicate her time to her true passion: illustrating stories. She's had the good fortune to be able to draw and color several projects with publishers such as Le Lombard ( A la table des Lumières , with scriptwriter Rutile), and Casterman ( Bouche d'ombre , a four-volume series created with writer Carole Martinez), and Dargaud for her two-part graphic adaptation of the classic children's novel The Secret Garden See less
