The Secret Garden

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett is the author’s most popular novel, now freshly repackaged for the Union Square & Co. Signature Editions line. The story follows a young orphan who rediscovers the joys of life after finding a long-abandoned garden.

Mary Lennox, a spoiled, ill-tempered, and unhealthy child, comes to live with her reclusive uncle at Misselthwaite Manor on England’s Yorkshire moors after the death of her parents. In her new home, she encounters a hearty housekeeper and her spirited brother, a dour gardener, a cheerful robin, and her wilful, hysterical, and sickly cousin, Master Colin, whose wails she hears echoing through the house at night.

With the robin’s help, Mary finds the door to a secret garden, neglected and hidden for years. As she decides to restore the garden in secret, the story blossoms into a charming journey towards the heart's rejuvenation, where faith restores health, flowers refresh the spirit, and the garden’s magic, coming to life anew, brings health to Colin and happiness to Mary.
