'Where you tend a rose, my lad, A thistle cannot grow.'
Frances Hodgson Burnett’s The Secret Garden is a gentle yet moving tale of transformation, set on a lonely Yorkshire estate where neglect and sorrow have taken root. When spoiled and solitary Mary Lennox is sent to live at Misselthwaite Manor, she discovers a hidden, locked garden, and with it, the possibility of friendship and change. Alongside the warm-hearted Dickon and her ailing cousin Colin, Mary begins to learn how patience, care, and companionship can alter lives.
