A little about the story
Sent to live at a Yorkshire manor, Mary Lennox finds a neglected garden and begins to make friends in a household accustomed to solitude.
Change is measured in small improvements that require someone to return the following day. The children learn to ask different things of one another because the garden gives them practical work to share.
