Aside from some comments about Indians and assumptions about being disabled, I think this book was enjoyable. I guess the comments about both were supposed to add to the realism of the book and I understand this was written during another time but idk
Still, I think aside from it was generally enjoyable.

A classic children's story I never got to as a kid. It's toothache sweet about Mary who, after the death of her parents, is sent to live in the manor of her reclusive uncle. She finds his late wife's private garden and with the help of a local boy and her cousin who was raised to believe he was a half-step from death himself, turn restore the garden it into a private sancuary. It is a story of the power of friendship and play and positive thinking, but it gets quite mundane with the repetition of the "magic" of positive thinking in the second half.
