The Secret Garden is one of the most delightful and enduring classics of children's literature, which has remained a firm favorite with children the world over ever since it made its first appearance in The American Magazine in 1910. It was brought out in the novel form in 1911. The plot of the book centers round Mary Lennox, a spoiled, contrary, solitary child raised in India but sent to live in her uncle's Misselthwaite Manor in Yorkshire after her parents' death in a cholera epidemic. Mary had never met her uncle Archibald Craven before. When she arrives at her uncle's Manor, she is a rude, stubborn and given to stormy temper tantrums. But her nature undergoes a gradual transformation when she comes to know the tragedies that have befallen her strict and disciplinarian uncle whom she earlier feared and despised
