The book is about the difficult child Mary who has grown up spoiled in India. When her parents dies she is send back to england and Misselthwaite manor in Yorkshire. She finds herself alone a lot and no one care for her temper and wishes anymore. There isn't so much to do than stay outside and play each day, and search for the secret garden she hears whispers about. Slowly, like the start of spring, she is starting to change for the better.

The story is wtitten in 1911 but is still interesting to read. It is filled with humor, magic and hope and a great story for both children and grown ups. It is a fabulous story that I really can commander.
