Zároveň je to však aj veľmi osamelé dievča, ktoré práve osirelo a svet sa mu od základov zmenil. Jedného dňa však objaví zanedbanú záhradu, ktorú celú večnosť zahaľovalo rúško ťaživého tajomstva. S pomocou červienky, malého zvedavého vtáčika, získa Mary kľúč od dverí a vstúpi do neuveriteľného sveta, ktorý od okolitého panstva oddeľovali vysoké záhradné múry. Práve tam zistí, že priateľstvo dokáže robiť zázraky, rovnako ako čarovná záhrada.

Tajemniczy ogród to zapomniany, zamknięty od wielu lat i zaniedbany zakątek ogromnego parku, otaczającego posiadłość stryja głównej bohaterki, Mary Lennox, pana Cravena. To także miejsce magiczne i pełne czarownego blasku; miejsce, które staje się azylem dla dziesięcioletniej sieroty Mary.

Natura staje się sprzymierzeńcem bohaterów w ich walce o odzyskanie siebie i utraconego dzieciństwa.

Zvlášť když člověk všude kolem narazí napřed na lány nudných zelinářských záhonů a za nimi pak na nekonečná pustá vřesoviště. Nakladatelská anotace. Kráceno.

Although best known for Little Lord Fauntleroy and The Secret Garden, Frances Hodgson Burnett was considered one of the leading writers in America on the strength of her adult novels, which made her name in the 1870s and 1880s. Ripe for rediscovery, Bello is proud to bring a select group of these classic novels back into print.The Head of the House of Coombe is the first of two volumes which were first serialised in 1920 in Scribner's Monthly, before being published in 1922. Together with the second volume, Robin, the 'House of Coombe' novels comprise Frances Hodgson Burnett's last substantial work. Returning to a theme that occurs again and again in her books - that of the change from riches to poverty - The Head of the House of Coombe contains Burnett's most dramatic manifestation of this idea, along with a potent sense of the old order breaking up in the years prior to the First World War.

The Shuttle is about American heiresses marrying English aristocrats; by extension it is about the effect of American energy, dynamism and affluence on an effete and impoverished English ruling class. Sir Nigel Anstruthers crosses the Atlantic to look for a rich wife and returns with the daughter of an American millionaire, Rosalie Vanderpoel. He turns out to be a bully, a miser and a philanderer and virtually imprisons his wife in the house. Only when Rosalie's sister Bettina is grown up does it occur to her and her father that some sort of rescue expedition should take place. And the beautiful, kind and dynamic Bettina leaves for Europe to try and find out why Rosalie has, inexplicably, chosen to lose touch with her family. In the process she engages in a psychological war with Sir Nigel; meets and falls in love with another Englishman; and starts to use the Vanderpoel money to modernize ‘Stornham Court’. The book’s title refers to ships shuttling back and forth over the Atlantic (Frances Hodgson Burnett herself traveled between the two countries thirty-three times, something very unusual then).
