Mary Lennox is sent home from colonial India after a cholera outbreak leaves her an orphan, and arrives at Misselthwaite Manor on the Yorkshire moors to live with an uncle she has never met. She is sour, thin, and disagreeable, and nobody pretends otherwise. The house has a hundred rooms and most of them are locked, and somewhere behind one of the walls she can hear a child crying at night.
Told by a robin about a key buried in the soil, Mary finds a door hidden under ivy and steps into a garden that has been shut for ten years. With Dickon, a moor boy who talks to animals, and Colin, her invalid cousin who has spent his whole life in bed being told he will die, she begins to bring the garden back. What grows there changes all three of them.
Frances Hodgson Burnett's 1911 classic is a quiet, generous book about neglect, illness, and the ordinary work of getting well. This unabridged recording keeps every Yorkshire turn of phrase and every slow, sunlit afternoon intact.
