			Triple bill of features adapted from classic children's books. In
'The Secret of Moonacre' (2008), based on 'The Little White Horse'
by Elizabeth Goudge, Dakota Blue Richards plays Maria Merryweather,
a 13-year-old girl who is forced to move in with Sir Benjamin (Ioan
Gruffudd), the eccentric uncle she never knew she had, following
the death of her father. Uprooted from her London life and
transplanted to the ancestral home of Moonacre Manor, Maria finds
herself in a mysterious world out of time, populated by strange
characters and mythical beasts. It's not long before she discovers
that there is an ancient story around the founding of the family
estate that will have a profound effect on her destiny. In 'A
Little Princess' (1995), based on the novel by Frances Hodgson
Burnett, Sara Crewe (Liesel Matthews)'s father goes to war and she
is forced to leave her idyllic home in India and enroll at an
English girls' school. With the news that her father is lost in
battle, Sara is left alone and penniless, but through the power of
her imagination she brings the magic and wonder of her Indian
existence to the strict regime of Miss Minchin (Eleanor Bron)'s
school. In 'The Secret Garden' (1993), also based on a Frances
Hodgson Burnett book, young orphan Mary Lennox (Kate Maberly) is
sent to stay with her uncle in a forbidding mansion. She not only
discovers an invalid cousin she never knew she had but also a
secret garden in need of repair.
