When spoiled rich girl, Mary Lennox, is orphaned, she is shipped from India to live in her uncle's enormous manor in faraway England, where all is not quite as it seems. Before long, the lonely Mary finds a key to a secret garden that has been left untouched for ten years, and a whole new world of enchantment opens up to her.

Media Reviews
more than 70 wonderful illustrations and botanical studies enrich this classic story * Bookseller *
... from Templar comes another of Robert Ingpen's superby illustrated classic books in celebration (of centenary). This is a hardback beauty: delicate botanical species paintings head each chapter and there is great variety in size and spacing of the rest of the intricate paintings. The picturing of Mary's first entry into the garden is perfect * School Library Journal *
beautifully illustrated * Hatchards Autumn and Winter Catalogue *
