The Secret Garden
A stunning flapped paperback edition of the classic tale of Mary Lennox and her journey from loneliness to belonging.
Misselthwaite Manor has a secret. Hidden in its gloomy grounds, concealed by thorns and ivy, is a magical garden. It has been locked for ten years and will remain so until the arrival of Mary Lennox.
Spoilt, selfish and disagreeable, the young orphan is determined to like nothing and nobody. But try as she might, Mary cannot resist the mystery of the secret garden. So, when a friendly robin leads her to the missing key, the door is opened at long last.
With the help of Dickon, a village boy who can tame the wildest of animals, and her sickly cousin, Colin, Mary starts to heal not only the land but also her lonely heart. As flowers begin to bloom again, the magic of the garden unfurls...
Part of the new Pushkin Children's Classics series of thrilling, magical and inspiring stories from around the world, which young readers will return to time and again.

About the Author
Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924) was born in Manchester and moved to America in her teens, when her family fell on hard times. She began writing around the same time, publishing stories in magazines and helping to keep the household afloat with the money she earned. As well as her beloved novels for children, The Secret Garden, A Little Princess and Little Lord Fauntleroy, she wrote stage plays and novels for adults. Twice married and twice divorced, she had two sons and lived in Paris and Washington, DC, before settling in upstate New York, where she died.
