Mary Lennox grows up in India, surrounded by people who cater to her every whim. After the sudden death of her parents, she is forced to go to England and live in her uncle's manor.
There, little Mary feels immense loneliness until she discovers, amidst the gardens and parks of the manor, a walled-up garden that has remained locked for years. Mary also learns the value of friendship when she meets Dickon, a charming boy who enchants both people and animals.
But the vast manor holds more secrets. Who cries and screams at night? And who is Colin, the disabled boy that Mary finds in a hidden chamber?
The Secret Garden, an enthralling and optimistic novel, is considered one of the best children's books of the 20th century, widely popular to this day.
