Lennox household and Mary is sent to
England. She must go to Yorkshire - to
Misselthwaite Manor, her uncle’s house.
There she meets the stern housekeeper
Mrs Medlock and the friendly house
maid Martha, who tries to encourage
Mary to enjoy the outdoors. Everything

but slowly Mary begins to explore the
grounds of the manor, meeting the
grumpy but good-natured gardener Ben
