A classic of children’s literature — a universal tale of friendship and the rediscovery of life’s beauty and wonder. The Secret Garden tells the story of 10-year-old Mary, who, after being orphaned, is sent to a vast estate in Yorkshire in the north of England to live with distant relatives.

During her solitary walks, she stumbles upon a long-abandoned garden with a mysterious past. Her companion in adventure becomes a boy from a nearby village. When they sneak into the secret garden together, they set off a chain of events that will transform not only the fate of the old manor, but also the lives of everyone within it…
