The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett
When little Mary comes to live with her uncle in the Misselthwaite Manor,
she finds herself lost and lonely amidst winding corridors and rooms with
closed doors. The house, and everything in it, is under a pall of gloom ever
since the death of her aunt a decade back. Soon Mary learns to let go of
her inhibitions and responds with warmth to those who work there, finding
friendship and happiness.
One day, while exploring the manor, Mary comes across a locked door in
the garden wall. What happens when she decides to enter it?
One of the most endearing stories of discovering what lies hidden within,
The Secret Garden is a magical tale of transformation that has enthralled
the young and old for generations.
