Frances Hodgson Burnett’s The Secret Garden is a luminous tale of renewal, friendship, and the quiet miracles of nature. Orphaned and sour-tempered, Mary Lennox is sent from India to her uncle’s vast Yorkshire estate, where locked doors, whispering corridors, and a mysterious walled garden awaken her curiosity. With the help of animal-whispering Dickon and the ailing Colin Craven, Mary coaxes both the hidden garden—and their own spirits—back to life.
This reader-friendly edition presents the complete, unabridged text enriched with atmospheric illustrations that capture moorland skies, ivy-draped walls, and the garden’s gradual bloom. A clear book summary distills the central plot and themes; a concise biography of Frances Hodgson Burnett provides historical context; and a characters list keeps relationships and personalities at your fingertips.
Ideal for classrooms, family reading, and anyone who loves stories of growth and hope, this beautifully illustrated volume combines literary authenticity with modern readability—celebrating the healing power of friendship, fresh air, and a key turned in the right lock.
