About this ebook

The timeless tale of a young, sickly girl who is forced to live with her uncle after tragedy strikes her life. Alone, angry, and confused, the only thing that brings Mary Lennox a glimmer of hope is the story of a mysterious secret garden.

Mary Lennox is an orphaned girl with a cold heart and a sour tongue. Accustomed to a privileged life in India, Mary isn’t prepared for the move to her uncle’s grand house on the Yorkshire Moors. But as time goes by, she becomes used to her new surroundings and begins to discover secrets are lurking around every corner. One day, she discovers a secret garden with high walls and a locked gate. Could the garden be the key to softening little Mary’s heart?

This gorgeous edition of Frances Hodgson Burnett's children’s novel The Secret Garden is accompanied by Charles Robinson's beautiful illustrations, and was first published in 1912.
