Newly arrived at the 600 year old, 100 room manor home in Yorkshire, England, is 10 year old Mary Lennox. She is weary from a long journey from India where, upon the death of her parents in a cholera epidemic, she has been sent to live with her strange uncle Archibald Craven. Almost immediately after being brought to her room, she hears the echo of a child sobbing through the labyrinth of corridors. No, she is told by the housemaid; it is just the wind on the moor. And so unravels the mystery and the miracle of THE SECRET GARDEN.
