Summary:
“The Secret Garden” is about a garden
that has been locked up for ten years and is discovered
by a young girl named Mary Lennox.
Mary has
come from India, orphaned, spoiled, sickly and determined
that she will not like living with her uncle, Mr.
Craven.
When Mary
discovered the garden she began caring for it with
the aid of her new friend Dicken. The garden and Mary
experience a great transformation.
While staying
at her uncle's, Mary uncovered another secret, her
cousin, Colin. Colin believed he was incurable, bedridden
and destined to die. His tantrums were so frightening
that the servants performed every request made by
him in order to keep him calm.
Mary hoped
that by taking Colin to the garden he would learn
to love the garden and its magic would work wonders
on him.
