Nine-year-old Mary Lennox lives a spoiled but joyless life with her parents in India.
But when her parents die in a cholera epidemic, she ends up in England, with her enigmatic uncle, Mr. Craven, who lives in a big and desolate old house in the country where no one ever comes to visit. She is not allowed to move freely in the house, but with the help of new friends Martha, the housemaid, and Dickon, who has a strange hand with animals, she begins to learn how to manage without care, for example how to dress herself or jump jump rope When Dickon tells her about a secret garden that has been locked since Mrs. Craven's death, her curiosity is piqued. She understands that the world holds so much more than her sheltered existence has suggested.
FRANCES HODGSON BURNETT [1849-1924] emigrated from England to the United States after her father's death and settled in Knoxville, Tennessee. The Secret Garden [1911] is one of the great classics of English-language children's literature.
