Features: The stubborn and willful Mary discovers a secret garden locked away for ten years at her relatives' house. The friends there have a profound impact on her. In the secret garden, she gradually becomes gentle and mature, learns to care for others, and helps the moody and bedridden Colin to reconnect with his father. The driving force behind her transformation comes from the beauty of nature and the love of her friends—this is the secret of the garden. Few children's literary works have achieved as remarkable literary success as The Secret Garden. It also influenced the writing of literary masters T.S. Eliot and D.H. Lawrence.
