yorkshire (england)

Ten-year-old Mary comes to live in a lonely house on the Yorkshire moors and discovers an invalid cousin and the mysteries of a locked and hidden garden.

Presents a biographical portrait of twentieth-century British veterinarian and author James Herriot and discusses each of his works by category, which include autobiographical collections, children's books, and travel narratives.

Life's not easy for Nicky. His mother is gone, his dad's out on bail, and his older brother, Kenny, needs looking after like a little kid. When Kenny drags Nicky out of bed one dark morning, Nicky has no idea that he is about to witness a terrible act of destruction, and the senseless killing of an innocent animal. But Nicky manages to save something precious from the disaster, and his and Kenny's lives are changed forever.

When Kenny and Nicky spot a glint of gold in the murky waters of Bacon Pond, they can't leave it alone. It means money, and money helps patch things up when you haven't got any. But sometimes it's better not to look too deep. Not when there are local gangsters involved, and tough questions about your own family's past. But Nicky can't help looking back. He knows it's a bad idea, and it could ruin everything. Can he save himself and his family, or will the secrets of the lake take them all down?.

Things are getting tense at home for Nicky and Kenny as they wait for a visit from their estranged mother. To escape, they go for a walk on the moors, taking their little Jack Russell terrier with them. But what should have been a laugh, a lark, turns deadly when the weather changes and they are caught in a blizzard. Nothing will ever be quite the same again.

It's a special place where special things happen. Friendships blossom. Illnesses fade away. Sorrows flee. And a troubled orphan named Mary, her spoiled, bedridden cousin Colin and a kindly country boy called Dickon discover that a world of caring can make a world of difference. One of the best-loved of all children's tales blooms anew in this enchanting 1993 version of Frances Hodgson Burnett's turn-of-the-century classic. Brought together at a country house, Mary, Colin, and Dickon discover a locked and abandoned garden and, through their friendship and care, bring the hidden glade back to beautiful life.
