With the help of Dickon, an unusual local youngster with the ability to charm nature, Mary not only manages to bring life and beauty to the secret garden -- abandoned years ago when the mistress of the manor was fatally injured there -- but also persuades Colin, her uncle's frail son, to lead a normal life. \n\u003cbr\u003eA repeated success on the motion-picture screen and the theatrical stage, this classic children's story is sure to charm new generations of readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher Marketing\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat secrets lie behind the doors at Misselthwaite Manor?
