The Secret Garden is probably Frances Hodgson Burnett's best known children's book. It relates the story of Mary Lennox, an unwanted girl born in British-India to selfish and neglectful English parents. Spoilt by the servants charged with her nurture she grows into an obstinate, wilful, rude and bad tempered child. Orphaned as a result of a cholera epidemic at the age of ten she is sent to Yorkshire to live with her uncle, Archibald Craven at Misselthwaite Manor on the edge of the moors, where her real adventures begin. A wonderful read for children and adults alike. Published in support of the Working Class Movement Library, 51 The Crescent, Salford, M5 4WX.
