Mary Lennox is a spoiled, middle-class, self-centered child who has been recently orphaned. She is accepted into the quiet and remote country house of an uncle, who has almost completely withdrawn into himself after the death of his wife. Mary gradually becomes drawn into the hidden side of the house: why does she hear the crying of a unseen child? Why is there an overgrown, walled garden, its door long locked? (Summary by Peter)

“I almost skipped this one because the title didn't grab me. Really glad I didn't. The content inside is miles ahead of what the description suggests.”

“I stumbled onto Secret Garden randomly and honestly? Best accident ever. The way Frances Hodgson Burnett explains things — it just clicks. I've tried similar books and they always felt dry. This one actually kept me engaged start to finish.”
