Summary "The Secret Garden" by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Mary Lennox, a sour and spoiled child who finds herself orphaned and sent to live with her reclusive uncle at the mysterious Misselthwaite Manor. As Mary encounters the manor's captivating yet neglected gardens, including a hidden garden that has been locked away for years, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and friendship. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Mary Lennox, an unhappy and disagreeable child, who is left alone in a foreign land after a cholera outbreak claims the lives of her parents. Sent to England to live with her uncle, Mary quickly learns that she is largely forgotten and left to her own devices. The opening chapters reveal her initial encounters with the manor, including her disdain for her new surroundings and her brush with loneliness. This sets the stage for her growth and the adventures that await her as she discovers the hidden beauty of the garden and the connections she can form with others, ultimately transforming her character and outlook on life.
