Dr. Frances Hodgson Burnett, Caroline Wheeler, Compiler
An wonderful old classic. A little girl travels back to England from India where she had been living all her life with her parents. She finds herself taken to live in a large, old unfriendly house in Yorkshire with a irritable housekeeper and an uncle who is sad and depressed. In her adventures she discovers a beautiful secret garden and comes alive, herself, with the garden. It is a lovely metaphor for healing.
