"The Secret Garden" is Frances Hodgson Burnett's most beloved and popular book, a children's classic that has been adapted dozens of times for the stage and screen.

When Mary Lennox - an ill-tempered and lonely orphan - is sent to live with her gloomy uncle in England, her prospects for a bright future are dim. Her only companions are her cousin Colin, who is wheelchair bound, and the local boy Dickon Sowerby and none of the children seem to have anything in common.

But when Mary discovers a hidden door leading to a concealed (though neglected) garden, everything changes. As the three children work on the garden and it begins to thrive, the children's friendships deepen, their happiness increases and even Colin's health begins to improve. But the mystery remains: Whose garden is it?

"The Secret Garden" is presented here in its original and unabridged format, just as it first appeared in print.
