The Secret Garden (1911) is a charming story about the transformative power of nature, friendship, and hope. When Mary Lennox, a sullen and orphaned girl, is sent to live in an old manor in Yorkshire, she finds herself surrounded by mysteries, locked doors, and hidden family secrets.

As Mary secretly tends to it, her own heart begins to bloom, and with the help of new friends, she learns to open up to the world and heal old wounds.

A timeless classic of children's literature, The Secret Garden continues to move readers of all ages with its tenderness, magical atmosphere, and uplifting message.
