Features: Some say that the classic novel The Secret Garden by American writer F.H. Burnett is a timeless classic, just as roast beef and Yorkshire pudding are classics in Britain. After the death of her parents, the eccentric and shy little girl Mary Lennox lives with her uncle in a mysterious and gloomy mansion. Through a magical experience, Mary enters a long-abandoned and desolate garden. Mary, the farm boy Dickon, and the sickly Colin, who has been locked in a dark room all year, find the key to happiness and experience a poetic revival of the garden.
