An orphaned girl discovers a magical garden hidden at her strict uncle's estate.

Mary Lennox is a spoiled 10-year-old girl of rich parents who grew up in India. After her parents die from cholera, Mary is sent to live in Misselthwaite Manor in Yorkshire with her uncle Archibald Craven and the housekeeper Mrs. Medlock. Mary discovers that the house holds many secrets. There she finds a key that leads her to a garden held locked for years by her uncle after his wife's death. Soon she finds a room in the manor where her sick cousin Colin has spent his entire life in his bed, completely unable to walk. But Mary and her new friend Dickon manage to bring the garden back to life, and in the garden Colin learns to walk and becomes a healthy, happy boy. When Lord Craven sees the children playing in the garden one day, he is amazed by the sight of his son walking. He feels joy for the first time in years.—Annie_2330

Gloomy rich widower Archibald Craven inhabited the vast Misselthwaite Manor in Yorkshire for years, with his bedridden son Colin and housekeeper Mrs. Medlock. After his niece Mary Lennox (10) loses both parents to cholera in India, he takes the vixen in and allows her to roam about without schooling, accompanied by a playful dog. She stumbles upon the key to a paradisiac secret garden, where she befriends village boy Dickon. Colin doesn't want to be drawn in, withdrawn since losing his mother, but when he joins, outdoors playing even gets him back on his feet, which also revives Lord Craven, but then disaster strikes indoors.—KGF Vissers
