Book Review(2)
Book Name- The Secret Garden
Author-Francis Hodgson Burnett

Mary Lennox is the daughter of a rich British colonist of India. She is a spoilt girl who doesn't know what caring means. When her parents die of cholera, ten-year-old Mary is sent to live in her  uncle's  mansion ,   Misselthwaite Manor. Her uncle, Archibald Craven, lost his wife and can't stop mourning her. He left control of his house to his brother. To Mary's surprise, she isn't waited on hand and foot, but sent outside to go play in the gardens. There, she finds a boy named Dickon who's followed around by kind animals, a friendly robin and a garden hidden behind a wall. As she starts to care about people other than herself, the garden, once Archibald Craven's wife's, starts to come alive around her for the first time since Mr Craven's wife died. She finds a boy named Colin, who turns out to be her cousin, spoilt, like Mary was in India, sick with delusions that he's to ill to live. Mary and Dickon decide to take him into the "Secret Garden" to make him glad to be alive.I recommend this book to everyone.
