There are three representative works of France Hawthorne Bernard: Little Princess Sarah, Little Childe Sidi and Animated Secret Garden, all of which have been adapted into cartoons in Japan. However, The Secret Garden was not adapted by the Japanese painting company (adapted by the Learning Research Society), and does not belong to the works of "World Famous Theatre".

won the excellent screening award of children's TV in Showa 6 years.

In the series of masterpieces that all take the gentle route, this work can be said to be quite different in style. Because of the background of the times (there were many incidents of violence/abuse in Japanese primary and secondary schools at that time), the audience's evaluation tends to be polarized. However, it was very successful that the ratings of the famous theaters that were in decline at that time could be improved. The story is different from the original. In the end, Mingqing College was saved by Sarah. In the original, Sarah finally broke off relations with Mingqing College. Among the characters who appeared, Ermengarde, Charlotte, Paige and Lavinia became more than the original, especially Lavinia even named Sarah as her exclusive maid. Another original character Peter appeared in the animation, adding Sarah's partner to the story, in order to alleviate Sarah's predicament, which was considered by the producers.

Even so, Sarah's plight was described excessively harshly. At the time of the broadcast, there was a letter from readers in the animation magazine saying that "when you are depressed, you will want to hang yourself", and the staff and voice actors also received letters with razors several times. As the voice actor in the role of Dean, Chinese and Western Miao Zi and Rongzi Yamada in the role of Lavinia revealed to the people around after the program: "I don't want to play this role any more".

As for the part of abuse, the dean and chef in the original work not only haggle with Sarah and Paige, but also forbid them to eat and starve them. In addition, the original has more descriptions of Sarah's inner world and feelings.

The character of the protagonist Sarah is also different from the original in the animation. In the animation, Sarah is thoroughly described with a kind character. Although Sarah in the original works is considerate, when facing the abusive dean, chef and Lavinia, it is also described as a proper refutation, and even stands up and speaks out for the bullied classmates. In Japan, the impression of Sarah in the original work was pushed aside because I felt something and thought about changing it.

In addition, the theme song at the beginning of the title has a strong dim scene. The final result is a happy ending, and the result of Dean Mingqing is not the same as that in the original.

At the beginning of the story, Sarah's age is also different from the original. The animation was initially set at 1 years old, while the original was initially set at 7 years old. Therefore, the original Sarah spent four years in the college for her 11th birthday.

In the original work, Dean Mingqing assigned Sarah as a French teacher for junior students on the day of her accident, but it took some time for Dean Mingqing in the animation to assign this job to Sarah.

In the original work, Sarah didn't know that Chris Ford was secretly helping her, but she was called a magician, but she knew it in the animation.

In the original book, everyone in Mingqing College didn't address Sarah as a diamond princess, only as a princess. At that time, "bullying" reflected the social phenomenon at that time and became everyone's topic. "A Xin (TV series)" was also the topic at that time. At that time, the synonym of "bullied girl" was derived, and two people, Sarah and A Xin, were elected.

There is a scene where the guards in London help Sarah. But generally speaking, the guards in London must not move casually. They probably felt sorry for Sarah and helped her.

' The Secret of Next Door Neighbor' (broadcast on August 18th, 1985) had a crash of JAL Flight 123 five days before the broadcast. President Yuko Pushang, who sponsored the house food alone, died because of this accident, and during the mourning, the original sponsored trademark seal, reading and CM were gone.
