Although her depictions of rebirth deserve criticism, the story's message is one that Christians should heed-beauty and goodness will always triumph over the harsh 'realism' of Winter." -From Amanda Ryan's Introduction Transplanted from India to her reclusive uncle's manor, Mary Lennox finds little on the wintry Scottish moor to distract her from the fact that she has always been sick and has never cared about anyone else (even before her parents died). But there's something hidden at Misselthwaite Manor, and the less Mary thinks about her problems, the more strong and cheerful she grows. She and her new friend-an affectionate little robin-discover a key and unlock some forbidden old secrets, bringing unexpected life and color to the dreary old house and its mysteries.
