Preparatory 1 , The Secret Garden
One of the most delightful
classics of children's literature, The
Secret Garden has remained a firm
favourite with children since it made
its first appearance in 1911.
The story is about an orphaned
Mary Lennox who comes to live at
her uncle's house on the Yorkshire
Moors. She finds the house full of
secrets. The mansion has nearly one
hundred rooms, and her uncle
keeps himself locked up. At night,
she hears the sound of crying down
one of the long corridors.
The gardens surrounding the
large property are Mary's only
escape. Then, Mary discovers a
secret garden, surrounded by walls
and locked with a missing key. With
the help of two unexpected
companions, Mary discovers a way
in—and becomes determined to
bring the garden back to life.
