The Secret Garden
The Secret Garden
By: Frances Hodgson Burnett
Beloved as a classic of English children’s literature The Secret Garden tells the story of the spoiled and sickly Mary Lennox, a 10-year-old who is orphaned in India. She is brought to England by her uncle to an ancient manor in Yorkshire. There she uncovers the key to a beautiful secret garden, kept locked by her uncle after his wife’s death. She also finds her uncle’s crippled and neglected son, her cousin Colin. Bringing Colin out of his sick room and into the garden transforms the lives not only of Mary and Colin—but her uncle too.
