The Secret Garden: Mary Lennox is a sickly and unloved 10-year-old girl, born in India to wealthy British parents who never wanted her. She is cared for by servants, who allow her to become a spoiled, aggressive and selfish child. Through the discovery of her aunt's secret garden, her brother, and a cousin, Mary becomes a child we would all like to have as part of our family.
