<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This is a touching story about two love-starved children - one an orphan girl and the other a bedridden boy - with a mission to restore a secret garden. With the help of a knowledgeable local lad, Mary and Colin discover the joys of nature. The garden's magic transforms body and soul, with unhappy self-absorption turning into joyful friendship.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>'The Secret Garden' tells the tale of ten year old Mary Lennox, a mean-tempered little girl, ignored by her parents, who is made an orphan in a cholera epidemic in India and sent to Misselthwaite Manor in Yorkshire to live with an uncle she has never met. From this unpromising start Mary slowly blossoms. She hears of a secret garden, left untended for ten years since the death her uncle's beloved wife. Guided by a cheeky robin, Mary finds the garden's lost key and, with the help of Dickon, a local boy with an uncanny understanding of nature, sets about restoring the site to its original glory. The garden is transformed and, with it, Mary herself. No longer self-absorbed, she shares her excitement with her bed-bound cousin, Colin, who is as emotionally stunted as she was, and the magic of the secret garden transforms him too, both in body and soul. 'The Secret Garden' is a touching and uplifting tale of the joy to be found in friendship and in the connection with the rhythms of Nature.</p>
