Written by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Illustrated by Graham Rust. First US edition, 1987. David R. Godine, Publisher. Boston.
The classic children's story of Mary Lennox, a spoiled and lonely orphan who is sent to live with her uncle in gloomy Misselthwaite Manor on the Yorkshire moors. There, she discovers a hidden garden that has been locked and neglected for years. With the help of the housekeeper and the gardener, a friendly robin, a local boy named Dickon, and her sickly cousin Colin, Mary begins to restore the garden and bring it back to life.
Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849 - 1924) was a British-American novelist and playwright born in Manchester, England. She emigrated to the United States with her family in 1865, and began her writing career by publishing stories in magazines and later wrote several novels and plays. She is best known for her three children's novels: Little Lord Fauntleroy (1886), A Little Princess (1905), and The Secret Garden (1911).
