Mary Lenox no es una niña simpática: la falta de atención y afecto convirtió a esta pequeña en un ser amargado, rencoroso y tiránico. Sin embargo, tras una terrible serie de sucesos, Mary se ve obligada a cambiar de pais e irse a vivir con su tio. Un dia, tras estar jugando en el jardin, con su inusual amigo el pelirrojo, Mary descubre la llave de un jardin que ha permanecido cerrado durante diez años. A partir de este momento su vida empieza a cambiar, y todo lo que ella sabia de la amistad, del afecto, e incluso de ella misma, se tornara diferente, transformando por completo a la pequeña Mary. Frances Hodgson Burnett nos enseña la gran importancia que tiene el amor para el desarrollo saludable de los niños.

The Secret Garden is now one of Frances Hodgson Burnetts most popular novels, and considered a classic of English childrens literature. Several stage and film adaptations have been made: Mary Lennox is a troubled, sickly, and unloved 10-year-old girl born in India to selfish, wealthy British parents who never wanted her. She is primarily cared for by servants, who pacify her as much as possible to keep her out of her parents way. She grows into a spoiled and selfish girl. Eventually, there is a cholera epidemic in India which kills Marys parents and all the servants. Mary is discovered alive but alone in the empty house. She briefly lives with an English clergyman and his family and is then sent to Yorkshire, England, to live with Archibald Craven, an uncle she has never heard of let alone met, at his miserable, isolated mansion called Misselthwaite Manor...
