About This Novel
This article is the most famous work of American children's literature writer Mrs. Burnett and a classic in the world's children's literature. "The Secret Garden" tells a story: Mary, a willful and lonely little girl from a rich family, became an orphan due to a sudden plague and was sent to a relative's home in an old manor in England for adoption. In the secluded and quiet countryside and among the simple villagers, her temperament gradually became peaceful. Late one night, following the faint cry coming from one end of the corridor of the mysterious mansion, she was brought to an equally weird and lonely little life. Colin, Mary's cousin and the young master of the mansion, was born weak and has been bedridden for many years. His temperament is surly and unpredictable. In order to help Colin, Mary took him into the secret garden in the manor that had been closed for many years. The children played undisturbed in the vibrant little world, learned to be friendly to others, and restored their pure and happy nature. A garden that had been closed because of its involvement in the memory of death was now reopened because of the vitality of new life within it. This cannot but be said to be the secret of natural force and the miracle of vitality.
