"Mary Lennox is the daughter of rich British colonists of India. She is a spoiled brat who doesn't know what caring means. When her parents die of cholera, ten-year-old Mary is sent to live in her uncle 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 Dickson 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 the wife died. When she finds a boy named Colin, who turns out to be her cousin, he's a spoiled brat, like Mary was in India, sick with delusions that he's too ill to live. Mary and Dickson decide to take him into the "Secret Garden" to make him glad to be alive. "
