Description

Manga Classics: The Secret Garden brings the classic tale of a young girl who finds new life and hope in growing a garden to life as a comic book. Despite her spoilt upbringing in a wealthy family in British India, Mary Lennox has never really had anyone pay any attention to her. So, when she finds herself all alone in a rambling old mansion surrounded by the vast wilderness of the Yorkshire Moors, ignored by her reclusive uncle and nominally cared for by servants, she doesn't feel much lonelier than she was before.

But then she stumbles upon a hidden, secret garden, makes friends with local lad Dickon and her sickly cousin Colin, and discovers the mystery and joy of growing things and connecting with nature. As well as being a gripping story of misery, mystery, and friendship, this is a heartwarming tale of forgotten children and adults who have let heartbreak stop them from loving the people around them; of death and misery blooming into new life.
