Age range 6 to 9 Mary Lennox, a young English girl, returns to
England from India, having suffered the loss of both her parents in
a cholera epidemic. However, her memories of her parents are not
pleasant, as they were a selfish, neglectful and pleasure-seeking
couple. Mary is given to the care of her uncle Archibald Craven,
whom she has never met. She travels to his home in gloomy
Yorkshire, a vast change from the sunny and warm climate she was
used to, and she becomes miserable and angry and rude. Once when
he's away from home, Mary discovers a charming walled garden which
is always kept locked. The mystery deepens when she hears sounds of
sobbing from somewhere within her uncle's vast mansion. When the
normally friendly servants pretend they haven't heard, Mary's
curiosity spikes. Classic Starts is a gorgeously produced,
thoughtfully written series of abridged editions of beloved
classics. Rewritten to accommodate the reading and interest level
of children who are too young to tackle the larger unabridged
volumes, this series offers a great way to introduce young readers
to favourite tales.
