The Secret Garden

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a timeless children’s classic published in 1911. It follows Mary Lennox, a spoiled and sour-tempered orphan sent from India to live with her reclusive uncle at Misselthwaite Manor in the Yorkshire moors. There, she discovers a hidden, neglected walled garden—locked since her aunt’s death—and, with the help of her frail cousin Colin and nature-loving boy Dickon, secretly restores it to vibrant life. As the garden blooms, the children undergo profound transformations, gaining health, friendship, and hope through nature’s magic, ultimately healing their family and themselves.
