The Secret Garden
The Secret Garden is one of the best-loved stories of all time.
What little girl can turn a whole household upside down and breathe new life
back into a strange, old manor? The
wonderfully contrary, strong-willed, angry, misunderstood Mary Lennox.
When Mary Lennox is sent to Misselthwaite Manor to live with her uncle,
everybody says she is the most
disagreeable-looking child ever seen. It is true, too. Mary is pale, spoilt and quite contrary. But she
is also horribly
lonely. Then one day she hears about a garden in the grounds of the Manor that has been kept locked and
hidden for
years.
And when a friendly robin helps Mary find the key, she discovers the most
magical place anyone could imagine...

Frances Eliza Hodgson Burnett
Frances Eliza Hodgson was the daughter of ironmonger Edwin Hodgson, who died three years after
her birth, and his wife Eliza Boond. She was educated at The Select Seminary for Young Ladies
and Gentleman until the age of fifteen, at which point the family ironmongery, then being run by
her mother, failed, and the family emigrated to Knoxville, Tennessee. Here Hodgson began to
write, in order to supplement the family income, assuming full responsibility for the family
upon the death of her mother, in 1870.
