What secrets lie behind
the doors at Misselthwaite Manor? Recently arrived at her uncle's
estate, orphaned Mary Lennox is spoiled, sickly, and certain she won't
enjoy living there. Then she discovers the arched doorway into an
overgrown garden, shut up since the death of her aunt ten years earlier.
Mary soon begins transforming it into a thing of beauty--unaware that
she is changing too. But Misselthwaite hides another secret, as Mary
discovers one night. High in a dark room, away from the rest of the
house, lies her young cousin, Colin, who believes he is an incurable
invalid, destined to die young. His tantrums are so frightful, no one
can reason with him. If only, Mary hopes, she can get Colin to love the
secret garden as much as she does, its magic will work wonders on him.
