An enchanting story of transformation and compassion, Frances Hodgson Burnett’s The Secret Garden is widely considered to be one of the most important works of children’s literature. After her parents die of cholera, Mary Lennox, a difficult and sickly little girl, is brought from India to her mysterious uncle’s sprawling estate on the Yorkshire moors. Mary continues in her self-absorbed ways until one day she discovers a hidden and neglected garden adjoining her uncle’s mansion. When she meets Ben Weatherstaff, a curt but gentle gardener, and discovers her hidden-away invalid cousin, Colin Craven, the three come together to tend the garden, and Mary’s life—as well as the lives of those around her—begins to change in unforeseen ways.

This Modern Library Paperback Classic is set from the text of the first American edition published in 1911.

“世上的生命有一种奇怪的现象，总要在某个时刻，一个人才会突然坚信自己会永远地活下去，永永远远活下去。或者在一个天光柔和而庄严的清晨起身，在屋外独自站立，仰头遥望高高的蓝天，看着灰白的天空慢慢变红，看着美丽彩霞变换，直到太阳在东方恢弘壮丽地升起。 人人都会遭...
