The Secret Garden is one of the best works of American writer F. Burnet. Along with her other novels - "Little Lord Fauntleroy" and "The Little Princess" - "The Secret Garden" is included in the golden library of world children's literature.
The book tells the story of the girl Mary Lennox, who lived in India for the first ten years and, after the death of her parents, ended up in England, in her uncle's estate. Trying to get used to the new environment, the sickly, weak girl often goes for walks near the house. One day she finds the key to a secret garden lying in the ground for ten years - and a whole world opens up before her. Here and there, the Secret Garden appears in her life. Mary finds friends who reincarnate with her as the garden reveals its secrets. And the cranky, arrogant, angry girl, who does not know how to make friends and hates the whole world, magically changes. Everything around her is also changing. The garden helps Mary notice the beauty and charm of every moment, open her heart to love all living things, find true friends, learn responsibility, humanity, loyalty, and teach this to others, even adults.
