Summaries

Mary Lennox is sent to live at Misselthwaite Manor where she befriends a young boy and learns about a secret garden.

When a spoiled English girl named Mary Lennox living in 19th century India loses her parents in a cholera epidemic, she is sent back to England to live in a country manor with her uncle, Archibald Craven. He is a strange old man who is frail, deformed, and immensely kind, but so melancholy. She wishes to discover what has caused him so much sorrow and to bring joy back to the household. It all must have something to do with the screams and wails which echo through the manor at night that no one wants to talk about.—Paul Emmons <[email protected]>
