I loved Mary Lennox in The Secret Garden*. It is one of my most reread books, I also had several movie versions of it growing up. Although I never got to see it on Broadway I have the cast album and can still belt out all of the songs. There was just something about Mary that I really admired. She talked of magic and she had it as well. She took in her world and turned it around with just her inner strength. Her magic. Really isn't that all we can all ask for at times? The ability to make a bit of magic in a world where it can't always be found?
*I picked the kindle version to link to because that was the illustration of Mary on my first copy of The Secret Garden
