"The Secret Garden" is not a simple children's fairy tale, but a profound fable that integrates the author's life experience, historical background and multiple theories. The story is based on the transitional period of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Through the growth of Mary and Colin and the recovery of the Secret Garden, the story interweaves and presents class conflicts, childhood cognitive changes and reflections on educational concepts, implying the reflection of imperial ideology from the perspective of post-colonialism. This book is an in-depth interpretation and incorporates Jungian psychology, Freudian psychoanalysis, pantheism and other theories. The garden, as a sacred place of "Temenos", symbolizes the process of individuation and integration of the soul. The essence of "magic" is the practice of thought healing. At the same time, the work rebels against traditional "rest therapy", celebrates the healing power of nature, friendship and positive thinking, subverts the "perfect protagonist" model of traditional children's literature, and becomes a guide to spiritual growth across the ages, with the core conveying the eternal themes of love, connection and self-salvation.
