After losing her parents, Mary Lennox comes to live at her uncle’s isolated house in Yorkshire. The unfamiliar rooms and surrounding landscape conceal mysteries, including a garden that has been locked and left untended.

As Mary explores, she begins to form friendships and takes an interest in bringing the garden back to life. Frances Hodgson Burnett’s story follows the connection between caring for a place and becoming open to other people. This edition belongs to the Virago Children’s Classics series.
