"I have stolen a garden," she said very quickly, "it doesn't belong to me. It belongs to no one. No one wants it, no one cares for it, no one ever goes inside. Perhaps everything in it is already dead; I don't know."

After losing her parents, young Mary Lennox is sent from India to her uncle's gloomy mansion in the wild English moors. She is lonely and has no one to play with, but one day she hears about a secret garden somewhere on the estate that no one is allowed to enter. Then Mary finds an old key in a flowerbed—and a touch of magic leads her to the hidden door. Slowly, she turns the key and steps into a world full of wonders.
