Contents

  • Mary Lennox is a plain, bad-tempered little girl whose parents die, leaving her orphaned. She is sent to live with her uncle on his huge estate in Yorkshire where she meets his ailing son, Colin, the Yorkshire maid, Martha and her brother Dickon, a boy with almost supernatural powers over nature.
  • As Mary explores her new home, she learns of a secret garden, shut up for ten years since the death of Colin's mother. With the help of a little robin she finds the key, unlocks the door and enters "the sweetest, most mysterious-looking place anyone could imagine." She shares her discovery with Dickon and then with Colion, and together the children make the garden bloom once more.
