The secret garden is a beautiful place but not accessible. However, with the courage and care of Mary, Dickon, and Colin, this place comes back to life and flourishes just as the young protagonists of Frances Hodgson Burnett's novel flourish. Both Mary, a spoiled girl, and Colin, a sorrowful boy, will become ready to face the life that lies ahead of them with a smile. This story is originally written by Frances Hodgson Burnett and I have translated into Maltese the adaptation by Carlo Scataglini.
