This premium quality edition contains the complete and unabridged
original classic version of "The Secret Garden," printed on heavy,
bright white paper in a large 6"x9" format, with page headers and a
fully laminated full-color cover featuring an original design.
Little Mary Lennox, raised in India by servants and left alone in
the world after a cholera epidemic, is sent to live with an uncle
she has never met in a nearly empty mansion on the edge of the
Yorkshire moors. Spoiled and self-absorbed, Mary soon finds that
the mansion is not so empty as it seems at first and gradually
learns that world does not revolve around her, and is filled with
wonderful living things and people who can become friends.
Locked away behind a wall Mary discovers the Secret Garden,
abandoned and neglected, and with the help of Dickon, a local boy
as at home with the wildlife and plants of the moor as with the
livestock and garden of his family's small farm, she begins to tend
the garden. And as the garden begins to recover and bloom with the
spring, so too does Mary, finding the meaning of friendship and the
warmth of human companionship.
The most remarkable transformation, though, is the change that
comes over her cousin Colin, sickly and feeble, hidden away from
the world in his private room and expecting death. First through
the companionship, and later the friendship, of Mary, and then
through the "magic" of the garden, Colin too learns that the world,
and the people living in it, can be wondrous things.
An inspirational and uplifting story, "The Secret Garden" is
generally considered one the 100 best children's books, and imparts
a message of the inherent power, and will, of all living things to
thrive and the need for each individual to realize the importance
and value of the natural world, and the people, around them.
