À propos de cet e-book

This book tells the classic story of Mary, who after losing her parents comes to live with her uncle in an English great house. When she gets there, she makes two friends: Dickon, a boy who talks with nature, and Colin, a poor boy who despite being a lord lives in isolation because of an illness. This friendship will lead to the discovery of a great secret: a forbidden garden, surrounded by walls and locked with a missing key, whose mystery goes back to a hidden accident. Decided to bring this garden back to life, Mary will join forces with her friends and walk into a path known today as a beautiful metaphor for the journey of self-awareness and awakening to the world. Written in 1911 by Frances Hodgson Burnett, a great author recognized for her success and independence, this work inspired various plays and movies and remains as vivid as the life brought out of it.
