The Secret Garden

Cholera empties a bungalow in India and leaves one child alive inside it, nobody's favourite and nobody's responsibility. You play Mary, sent to a Yorkshire manor with a hundred rooms she is not to enter and an uncle who will not look at her. Twenty chapters of a robin, a buried key and ten years of ivy — and a crying through the corridors at night that the servants insist is only the wind.
