After her parents die of cholera, Mary Lennox, a difficult and sickly little girl, is brought from India to her mysterious uncle’s sprawling estate on the Yorkshire moors. Mary continues in her self-absorbed ways until one day she discovers a hidden and neglected garden adjoining her uncle’s mansion. When she meets Ben Weatherstaff, a curt but gentle gardener, and discovers her hidden-away invalid cousin, Colin Craven, the three come together to tend the garden, and Mary’s life—as well as the lives of those around her—begins to change in unforeseen ways. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This Modern Library Paperback Classic is set from the text of the first American edition published in 1911. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eThe Secret Garden\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“It is only the exceptional author who can write a book about children with sufficient skill, charm, simplicity, and significance to make it acceptable to both young and old.
