A classic children's story, Mary Lennox, a plain, spoiled, bad-tempered little girl is orphaned and neglected. She is sent to live with her uncle with a crooked back on his huge estate. There she meets his ailing son, Colin, a hearty Yorkshire maid named Martha and her brother Dickon, a boy with almost supernatural poser over nature. As Mary explores the house and elaborate grounds, she learn of a secret graden, shut up for ten years since the death of her uncle's wife. She searchs and finds her discovery with Dickon, then with Colin. Together the children make the garden grown and bloom. And the children grow and bloom as well. "The Secret Garden has survived the years because of its compelling themes: the healing power of nature and the magic of love.
