The Secret Garden is undoubtedly a classic of children's literature with a strong, positive message. Its atmosphere and main theme are beautiful and well-developed: the story of Mary Lennox, a spoiled and lonely little girl who, after moving to her uncle's gloomy manor in England, discovers an abandoned garden and, by caring for it, finds herself again, is a splendid allegory for inner rebirth through nature and friendship.
