'And the secret garden bloomed and bloomed and every morning revealed new miracles.'

After losing her parents, young Mary Lennox is sent from India to live in her uncle's gloomy mansion on the wild English moors. She is lonely and has no one to play with, but one day she learns of a secret garden somewhere in the grounds that no one is allowed to enter. Then Mary uncovers an old key in a flowerbed - and a gust of magic leads her to the hidden door. Slowly she turns the key and enters a world she could never have imagined.

Why Novel North recommends

'The Secret Garden is a childhood favourite.  And no matter how many times you revisit, the magic always draws you in.  Seeing the world through Mary’s eyes, you feel the sense of wonder as she discovers so many of the secrets of Misselthwaite Estate and surrounding moors, and you come away feeling excited and inspired to make discoveries of your own. It’s magical, enchanting, beautifully articulate and full of mystery and atmosphere.’
