After the death of her parents, Mary is brought back from India to live with her uncle in England. She is sickly and spoilt, and her uncle's 600-year-old house is strange and mysterious. She thinks she hears a child crying in the house in the middle of the night.

Mary is told of a secret garden that has been locked up for ten years, and she is determined to find it. One day a robin leads the way.

Mysteries remain. What does Mary find in the secret garden? And where does the crying come from? Read this story to find out the answers to these questions.
