Frances Hodgson Burnett, 1849-1924

Book - 2018

"When spoiled rich girl, Mary Lennox, is orphaned, she is shipped from India to live in her uncle's enormous manor in faraway England. The lonely girl is forbidden to play in most of the imposing house - struggling to adjust to her new surroundings, she goes out into the grounds every day. Before long, Mary finds a key to a secret garden that has been left untouched for ten years, and a whole new world of enchantment opens up to her. For the first time she learns to make friends - with the talented animal-charmer, Dickon, and her sickly cousin, Colin, who has been hidden away behind closed doors - and between them, the three children truly flourish as the garden reveals its haunting secrets."--Provided by publisher.
