The Secret Garden: Frances Burnett

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a magical novel for adults and children alike

`I`ve stolen a garden,` she said very fast. `It isn`t mine. It isn`t anybody`s. Nobody wants it, nobody cares for it, nobody ever goes into it. Perhaps everything is dead in it already; I don`t know.`

After losing her parents, young Mary Lennox is sent from India to live in her uncle`s gloomy mansion on the wild English moors. She is lonely and has no one to play with, but one day she learns of a secret garden somewhere in the grounds that no one is allowed to enter. Then Mary uncovers an old key in a flowerbed - and a gust of magic leads her to the hidden door. Slowly she turns the key and enters a world she could never have imagined.
