| Summary |
"Salainen puutarha" by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a classic children's novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Mary Lennox, a sour and lonely little girl who, after being sent to live with her uncle at Misselthwaite Manor, begins to awaken to the beauty of life and relationships, particularly through her discovery of a hidden garden. The novel combines themes of healing, friendship, and the transformative power of nature. At the start of the tale, we meet Mary Lennox, a neglected child who was raised in India by indifferent parents. When her parents die from cholera, she is sent to England to live with her reclusive uncle, Archibald Craven, at his estate. As Mary adjusts to her new surroundings, she grapples with feelings of abandonment and isolation. Despite her sour demeanor, she finds herself intrigued by the vast, mysterious grounds of the manor and eventually learns of a locked garden that hasn't been tended for years. Her curious nature leads her on a journey of exploration, sparking hope for personal growth and connection in her new life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
