'It is the child no one ever saw!' exclaimed the man, turning to his companions. 'She has actually been forgotten!' 'Why was I forgotten?' Mary said, stamping her foot. 'Why does nobody come?' The young man whose name was Barney looked at her very sadly. Mary even thought she saw him wink his eyes as if to wink tears away. 'Poor little kid!' he said. 'There is nobody left to come.' It was in that strange and sudden way that Mary found out that she had neither father nor mother left; that they had died and been carried away in the night, and that the few native servants who had not died also had left the house as quickly as they could get out of it, none of them even remembering that there was a Missie Sahib. That was why the place was so quiet. It was true that there was no one in the bungalow but herself and the little rustling snake. 'Bratty and spoiled Mary Lennox is orphaned when her parents fall victim to a cholera outbreak in India. As a result, Mary becomes the ward of an uncle in England she has never met. As she hesitantly tries to carve a new life for herself at imposing and secluded Misselthwaite Manor, Mary befriends a high-spirited boy named Dickon and investigates a secret garden on the Manor grounds. She also discovers a sickly young cousin, Colin, who has been shut away in a hidden Manor room. Together Mary and Dickon help Colin blossom, and in the process Mary finds her identity and melts the heart of her emotionally distant uncle.' -- Publishers Weekly
