FROM THE PUBLISHER - When Mary Lennox was sent to Misselthwaite Manor to live with her uncle, everybody said she was the most disagreeable-looking child ever seen.' So begins the famous opening of one of the best-loved children's stories in the world. The tale of the lonely little girl, orphaned and sent to a Yorkshire mansion at the edge of a vast lonely moor, is a story that touches on the feelings of children everywhere. Mary's initial fear of this gloomy place is finally overcome by what she calls ‘magic': the mystery of life itself - its birth and renewal, its love and joy. Focusing on Mary and her relationship with the sturdy local boy Dickon, who earns even the trust of the moor's wild animals with his honesty and love, and the invalid Colin, the spoiled, unhappy boy rejected by his father and terrified of life, THE SECRET GARDEN opens the door not only into a real hidden garden, but into the innermost places of the heart. It is a truly classic work that has left generations of readers with warm, lifelong memories of its very special charms. inventory #35677 ISBN: 0451525817.
