A young girl falls ill and is sent to move into a country estate with a distant uncle. As she explores the manor, she finds a secret garden and her life begins to change. Based on the Frances Hodgson Burnett novel of the same name.
Reportedly The Secret Garden is set in the [Edwardian era](http://www.willowandthatch.com/period-films-to-watch/best-period-dramas-edwardian-era/) shortly after the turn of the 20th century in India and Yorkshire, England, but no exact date is given in the book, and the story may actually be set in the late [Victorian era](http://www.willowandthatch.com/period-films-to-watch/period-dramas-victorian-era/).
Starring Sarah Hollis Andrews, Hope Johnstone, William Marsh.
Note: All of the secret garden scenes were shot on a studio set and the pace of this version is somewhat slow and the production feels dated; however, it follows the book more closely than any other, retaining much of the key dialogue. The costuming and the Yorkshire accents are well done, and the characters appear the way that they are described in the book. In seven half-hour episodes, this is a child friendly adaptation.
