In no book is the transformative power of gardens more vivid than in this classic work first published in 1911. Two cousins, Mary and Colin, live in Misselthwaite Manor and, at first, do not know of each other's existence. Both children are sickly and suffer from various ailments. As they discover a secret, abandoned garden and nurse it back to health, they, too, join the world again and find the companionship, love, and life they always needed. This old-fashioned English novel will appeal to readers of all ages.
