About the Book: When orphaned Mary Lennox arrives at her uncle's brooding estate on the Yorkshire moors, she is spoiled, sickly, and friendless.

As Mary explores the grounds with the help of a cheerful robin and Dickon, a local boy with a gift for befriending wild creatures, she finds the door to that forgotten garden.
