性格孤僻的小姑娘玛丽在父母双亡后被送到一文化教育龙罩着神秘气氛的庄园。空旷的庄园里有一个关闭了十年之久,连门也找不到了的秘密花园。小说就是以这座庄园为背景,性格迥异的孩子如何寻找秘密花园并使之复活,同时自己也在大自然的怀抱中摆脱了病态心理,变得生气勃勃了。小说充满童趣,悬念丛生,富有教益,是世界儿童文学史上的一部经典之作。
这是一部需要去准备一份感动的书。
一座花园,因为发生了一场突如其来的变故,花园被围墙、被关闭的门封锁起来。从此,变成了一座灰色的,没有生气的废园子。变成了一个秘密的花园。同时,拥有这个花园的人家,也落入了灰色的生活。
一个外来的女孩,一个又干、又瘦、又野的丑女孩,有一天从印度来到了这个家。因为一场瘟疫,夺去了她全家人的性命,只剩下她孤零零的一个,只好投亲到这个陌生、充满了神秘感的远亲家中。
好大的庄园,好大的园子,灰色、阴冷的地方。这是给女孩留下的第一印象。庄园里只有很少的人,有100多间房子,有的房子很多年都没人去过。半夜有时还弥漫着断断续续的哭声。这一切都使这个新来的女孩的好奇心,膨胀到了极点。
女孩的名字叫玛丽。春天的风,春天的阳光,庄园里的四处乱窜,园子野径的四处奔跑,使干瘦的玛丽脸上开始有了血色。在一只神秘的红胸脯小鸟的引导下,玛丽找到了埋在地上的花园门钥匙。扒开被野藤遮蔽下的木门,围墙下的花园被偷偷的打开了。
女孩玛丽除去一小块荒地的枯草,绿色的春苗,就在春风下一点点的冒出来,春之绿一点一点的、一片一片的来到了这个神秘的花园。
女孩玛丽结识了一个精灵式的男孩,他的名字叫狄肯。狄肯有种种神奇的能力,每当他出现时,小鸟、野兔、松鼠等等小动物,都会围绕在他的身旁,听他吹笛。狄肯身上还随时带着一些神奇的种子,撒在清理出来的园地上,没几天就会冒出来一簇簇的绿苗。
又一个奇妙的夜晚,女孩循着哭声发现了长期生病卧床的表弟柯林。柯林原被认为是无法活到长大的病人。可是,玛丽在狄肯的帮助下,把柯林偷偷的带进了花园。柯林开始对生命有了渴望。春天的绿苗,也在柯林的胸中蔓延。柯林开始用自己的脚,秘密踏上花园的土地。绿色、健康、阳光,成了他们的秘密,春天悄悄的回到了秘密的花园。

Book review
The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett (1911)
If you could choose, I don't suppose you would choose Mary Lennox for a playmate:
When Mary Lennox was sent to Misselthwaite Manor to live with her uncle everybody said she was the most disagreeable-looking child ever seen. It was true, too. She had a little thin face and a little thin body, thin light hair and a sour expression.
But you would probably be disagreeable too if you had lived in India all your short life, dumped on servants while your parents busied themselves with parties and entertaining. Mary Lennox was unwanted and unloved and almost went unnoticed when cholera hit the household. Both her parents died and she was shipped off to the wild moors of Yorkshire to live with her reclusive, hunch-backed uncle.
'And you mustn't expect that there will be people to talk to you. You'll have to play about and look after yourself. You'll be told what rooms you can go into and what rooms you're to keep out of. There's gardens enough. But when you're in the house don't go wandering and poking about. Mr Craven won't have it.'
Not a very inviting start to a new life, is it? Actually, things are very different for Miss Mary. The Yorkshire housemaid, Martha, doesn't respond like her old Indian Ayah:
'Who are you callin' names?' she said. 'You needn't be so vexed. That's not th'way for a young lady to talk ...'
Ben Weatherstaff, the old gardener, doesn't take to her very readily:
'Tha' an' me are a good bit alike,' he said, 'We was wove out of th' same cloth. We're neither of us good-lookin' an' we're both of us as sour as we look. We've got the same nasty tempers, both of us, I'll warrant.'
And she's very lonely.
She takes to roaming round the gardens, because there really isn't anything else to do. And there is this queer matter of the locked garden which she must never go into:
'Mr Craven had it shut when his wife died so sudden. He won't let no one go inside. It was her garden. He locked th' door an' dug a hole and buried th' key ...'
But there is one thing at Misselthwaite Manor that Mary didn't reckon on - and neither did anyone else. There is a special kind of magic. As Mary wanders round the windy gardens the magic begins to do its work. First, the robin befriends her, and then old Ben Weatherstaff pauses for a chat. Mary finds she likes to listen to Martha the housemaid, about her mother and brothers and sisters in the cottage on the moor. And when Mary finally meets her uncle Craven, she finds a crippled man, grief-stricken at the death of his wife ten years ago, but not unkind.
I'm going to have to leave the rest of the story for you to find out for yourself. But I can tell you that Martha's got a super brother called Dickon who does live a life of pure magic out on the moor from dawn until dusk. And, to Mary's great surprise, she finds she also has a cousin. Read on ... I think you will love this book. Slowly, slowly Mary is transformed by the wholesome life that she lives at Misselthwaite Manor. It's a very emotional story, beautifully told, and comes to a happy, triumphant end.
