Over dit boek
When sharp-tempered Mary Lennox is orphaned by a cholera outbreak in India, she is shipped to gloomy Misselthwaite Manor on the Yorkshire moors. Sour, unloved, and utterly alone, she stumbles upon a walled garden that has been locked for ten years. As she coaxes it back to life alongside a nature-charmed local boy named Dickon, she discovers her invalid cousin Colin hidden away in the manor — a boy convinced he is dying. Together, the three children find that the act of nurturing something living can heal what medicine cannot: grief, fear, and the belief that one is beyond saving.
