'If you look the right way you can see that the whole world is a garden.' Young Mary Lenox, suddenly orphaned, is sent to live with her uncle at his estate on the wild Yorkshire Moors. A grand house, Misselthwaite Manor seems to be full of secrets; it has almost a hundred rooms, and at night Mary can hear someone crying. Her uncle is a mystery too; he prefers solitude and keeps himself locked in his chambers. Mary spends her days wandering around the house-until she discovers a walled garden that had been locked for years. With a newfound purpose, Mary makes it her mission to breathe life into the secret garden. As Mary works hard to bring the garden back to life, its magic begins to work on her too, opening the door to a world of happiness and hope. The Secret Garden is an unforgettable tale of resilience, hope, and new beginnings.

Burnett, Frances Hodgson: - Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924). Novelist and children's writer, Hodgson Burnett's reputation rests on her three famous children's books, Little Lord Fauntleroy, A Little Princess and The Secret Garden. Frances Hodgson was born in Manchester in November 1849, one of five children of a well-to-do manufacturer. After the death of her father the family fell upon hard times and in 1865 they emigrated to America. Frances, however, was not to forget about her life in Manchester and her first novel, Lass o' Lowries (1877) tells of working-class life in Manchester. It was while deciding on the lay-out for her garden at her home in Long Island that Frances conceived and wrote The Secret Garden (1911), probably her best and most enduring work. In it the garden acts as a means of health and as a symbol of the growing personality. She continued to write up until her death in 1924, a few weeks short of her seventy-fifth birthday.
