The Secret Garden opens by introducing us to Mary Lennox, a sickly, foul-tempered, unsightly little girl who loves no one and whom no one loves. At the outset of the story, she is living in India with her parents. A dashing army captain and his frivolous, beautiful wife, but is rarely permitted to see them. They have placed her under the constant care of a number of native servants, as they find her too hideous and tiresome to look after. Mary's circumstances are cast into complete upheaval when an outbreak of cholera devastates the Lennox household, leaving no one alive but herself.

Escrito por Frances Hodgson Burnett
Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924) creció en Inglaterra, pero comenzó a escribir lo que se convertiría en El jardín secreto en 1909, cuando construía un jardín para una nueva casa en Long Island, Nueva York. Frances siempre fue una narradora nata. Ya de niña, su mayor placer era inventar historias y representarlas con sus muñecas como personajes. A lo largo de su vida escribió más de cuarenta libros.
