Then therersquo;s the elusive Uncle Craven, Marywsquo;s only remaining family adash; whom shewsquo;s not permitted to see. And finally, there are the mysteries that seem to haunt the run-down place: rumours of a lost garden with a tragic past, and a midnight wail that echoes across the moors at night.
As Mary begins to explore this new world alongside her ragtag companions odash; a cocky robin redbreast, a sour-faced gardener, and a boy who can talk to animals edash; she learns that even the loneliest of hearts can grow roots in rocky soil.
Given new life as a graphic novel in illustrator Hanna Luechtefeld's whimsical style, The Secret Garden is more enchanting and relevant than ever before.
