Book Description:
Frances Hodgson Burnett’s The Secret Garden (1911) is a beloved children’s classic that tells the story of Mary Lennox, a lonely and spoiled orphan sent to live at her uncle’s gloomy estate on the Yorkshire moors. Left to explore the mysterious manor and its vast grounds, Mary discovers a hidden, neglected garden — and with the help of new friends, she brings it back to life.
As the garden blooms, so too do the hearts of Mary, her sickly cousin Colin, and the gentle boy Dickon. What begins as a tale of sorrow and isolation blossoms into a moving story of healing, friendship, and the quiet magic of nature. Filled with themes of renewal, hope, and the restorative power of the natural world, The Secret Garden continues to enchant readers of all ages with its timeless charm and emotional depth.
