The classic story of orphaned Mary who has been sent to stay at her uncle's manor house in Yorkshire, following the death of her parents from cholera.

Mary is spoilt and sickly, but her life changes for the better when she discovers the secret walled garden in the grounds of the house.

With the help of the animal-loving Dickon, Mary begins to tend the garden and her zest for life returns - so much that she befriends Colin, her peevish cousin, and teaches him to see the wonders of the outdoor world too.

This well-loved story is part of the new Oxford Children's Classics series.
