The Secret Garden

"The Secret Garden" by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a story about transformation and healing. It follows Mary Lennox, an unpleasant young girl who, after the death of her parents, goes to live with her reclusive uncle in a large, secretive manor. Neglected and alone, Mary explores the grounds and finds a long-forgotten, locked-up garden. This discovery begins a journey where she learns about friendship, self-reliance, and the power of nature to heal, as she slowly transforms both the garden and herself.

Frances Eliza Hodgson Burnett was a British-American novelist and playwright. She is best known for the three children's novels Little Lord Fauntleroy (1886), A Little Princess (1905), and The Secret Garden (1911).
