Frances Hodgson Burnett

9 h 8 min · 27 chapters · read by Kara Shallenberg (1969-2023)

Mary Lennox, orphaned in India and thoroughly spoiled, is sent to her uncle's gloomy manor on the Yorkshire moors. There she finds a walled garden that has been locked for ten years, a robin who shows her the way in, and a cousin hidden away in a distant room. Frances Hodgson Burnett's 1911 classic of children bringing a place, and themselves, back to life.
