It's a special garden where friendships blossom, illness fade away and sorrows flee. There troubled orphan Mary (Kate Maberly), her spoiled, sickly cousin Colin (Heydon Prowse) and kindly country boy Dickon (Andrew Knott) discover that a world of caring can make a world of difference. Frances Hodgson Burnett's classic story blooms anew in this enchanting new version lovingly adapted by Caroline Thompson and directed by Agnieszka Holland, Maggie Smith and John Lynch also star. "If you look the right way", Mary says, "you can see the whole world is a garden". Discover a whole world of magic in this wonderful movie. (Roadshow Entertainment)

Frances Hodgson Burnett's work is synonymous with "Little lord Fauntleroy," "A Little Princess" and "The Secret Garden." I'm glad that I accidentally rediscovered Holland's version of this particular story because she really managed to film such a fragile substance with real humility.
