Why You’ll Love It
One of the most beloved children's classics ever written, The Secret Garden is beautifully reimagined in miniature by celebrated IGMA artisan Barbara Raheb. Published in 1990, it features readable text, finely reproduced black-and-white illustrations, and on its cover, an exquisitely detailed gilt-stamped design of a girl tending a garden. This example is #261 of 300 and is bound in rich burgundy red pyroxylin. Preserved in immaculate condition, it is a wonderful addition for collectors of classic literature, artisan miniature books, and investment-quality dollhouse accessories.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
