The Secret Garden - Part 1 (Chapters 1-9)

Join us as we discuss chapters 1-9 of The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett.  We will meet Mary, the novel's 10 year-old protoganist, who is not wanted by her mother, her father is too busy for her, and who has been living in India for her whole 10 years of life, being raised by an Ayah.  What happens when she finds herself forgotten, with nearly everyone around her dead from an outbreak of Cholera?  We will follow her as she travels to London to live with her Uncle, whom she has never met, in the grand mansion of Misselthwaite.
