It was the sweetest, most mysterious looking placeanyone could imagine. The high walls which shut it in were covered with the leafless stems of roses which were so thick that they matted together. 'No wonder it is still,' Mary whispered. 'I am the first person who has spoken in her for ten years...'
When orpaned Mary Lennox comes to live with her uncle on the Yorkshire moors, she has nothing to do and no one to play with. It doesn't take long for Mary to realize that the great empty house is full of secrets, including the distant crying she hears at night that no one will explain. But then a friendly robin shows her the way to a walled, locked gard---abandoned and forgotten. Slowly the secerts of Misselthwaite Manor begin to unfold as Mary brings the garden back to life. Read by Claire Bloom. Abridged. 1 cassette. 1 hour.
