Publisher's Synopsis
Mary Lennox is a rude ten year old girl raised mostly by servants because her wealthy British parents had no time for her where they lived in India. When her parents and servants die in a cholera epidemic, Mary survives, and is sent to live with her uncle Archibald Craven in Yorkshire. There she finds a key to a secret garden which Mrs. Craven had tended until she died. Now Archibald keeps the garden locked away in secret. Mary makes new friends and she discovers the healing power of nature as she grows into a more confident and kind person. A classic of children's literature, The Secret Garden belongs in every home library.
