When Mary Lennox is orphaned, she is sent from her home in India to live with her uncle at Misselthwaite Manor on the Yorkshire Moors. She arrives as a sour-faced, sickly, and ill-tempered little girl, bewildered by her surroundings and desperately lonely. One day she discovers a way into a secret abandoned garden and, with the help of local lad Dickon and her poorly cousin Colin, they set about restoring the garden. The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a magical tale of transformation that has enchanted both children and adults since its publication in 1911. This beautiful Macmillan Collector's Library edition of The Secret Garden features an afterword by publisher Anna South. Designed to appeal to the book lover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much-loved classic titles.
