Secret Garden / Frances Hodgson Burnett 368 p.

A 10 year old spoiled orphan from India arrives at her uncle’s in the Yorkshires. She discovers a key to a locked walled garden, locked when the very much loved mistress of the house dies. She embarks to restore the secret garden secretly. She calms the invalid heir who every command is obeyed since he is not expected to live. This is the story of how the secret garden changes her and the invalid. Frances Hodgson Burnett creates sturdy realistically unattractive children. Their character flaws fall away as they work to make things grow in the garden.
