A hidden garden and the work of renewal

At Misselthwaite Manor, Mary Lennox encounters an unfamiliar Yorkshire landscape, a local boy who befriends wild animals, and Colin, an unhappy child living with illness. The abandoned garden gives these elements a shared point of discovery, linking the children’s changing circumstances with themes of nature, companionship, and renewal. First published in 1911, Frances Hodgson Burnett’s classic centers on childhood loneliness and the possibility of connection within a secluded setting. This edition includes an afterword by Sandra M. Gilbert.
