Summary
The Secret Garden is the story of a young girl named Mary Lennox, who moves to England to live with her uncle after her parents die of cholera in India. Her new home is shrouded in mysteries, with a particular focus on a locked garden that no one is allowed to enter. With the help of her new friends—Dickon, a local boy, and Colin, her uncle's ailing son with whom Mary forms a bond—they discover and rejuvenate the neglected garden. The restoration of the garden and their connection with nature profoundly transform their lives, healing Colin's body and spirit, helping Mary find true friends and family, and bringing life and joy back to her uncle's home, which had been filled with sadness and despair.
