The Secret Garden
A sour, neglected orphan is sent to a lonely Yorkshire manor full of locked rooms and secrets, and the discovery of a hidden, walled garden slowly brings her, and the house, back to life. A beloved classic of childhood and healing.
Character notes and context for the chapter you’ve read.
One of the most beloved children’s books ever written, and a quiet marvel at any age, about how tending a garden, and each other, can heal almost anything. Pure, green-fingered magic.
SettingYorkshire, early 1900s
Edwardian England of grand, half-empty country houses and rigid nurseries, where children were seen and not heard and the moors kept their own weather and their own secrets.
