Ever since I was a kid The Secret Garden has been my favorite book. It is facinating that there is an ugly girl who no one even remembers. She is left in an empty house and totally forgotten. It kind of makes you want to mind your manners and make a few more friends.
Then she is taken in by an uncle she doesn't know and she does not meet him for some time. Then she is allowed to have a patch of land that was once dearly loved by someone but now has been forgotten, just like Mary Lennox, the main caracter.
The boy that slowly becomes her companion is sickly just as Mary once was. he can not get out of bed and he is a miserable boy.
But Mary, the garden and the boy all slowly come to life and learn to be beautiful and to love and be happy as children and gardens should be.

Someday, I'm going to read this book. But sadly, not any time soon.
