The Secret Garden begins by introducing Mary Lennox, a sickly, foul-tempered, and unattractive little girl who feels unloved and is incapable of loving anyone in return. Initially, she lives in India with her parents, a handsome army captain and his glamorous, carefree wife, who hardly ever make time for her. Instead, they delegate her care to a number of native servants, finding her too tiresome and repellent to look after. Mary's life is completely turned upside down when a cholera outbreak claims the lives of everyone in her household, leaving her the sole survivor.
