The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett
It's a secret garden, and I'm the only one in the world who wants it to be alive." When orphaned Mary Lennox first arrives at Misselthwaite Manor, she is coming to a large, dark house full of secrets. Indoors, she slowly uncovers the truth about her invalid cousin, Colin, and helps him rebuild his strength and spirit. But it is outdoors that the real magic lies, behind the hidden door to the walled secret garden which, with the help of her new friend Dickon, she brings back to life. This entrancing story has charmed gen errations and become one of the key classics of children's literature. The Secret Garden was first published in 1911. Full of mystery and romance, it has never been out of print.
