来自豆瓣的介绍：
本书是美国儿童文学作家伯内特夫人最负盛名的作品，世界儿童文学作品中的经典。
任性而孤僻的富家小女孩玛丽因为一场突来的瘟疫变成了孤儿，被送往英国一处古老庄园里的亲戚家中收养。在幽僻宁静的乡野和淳朴的乡人中间，她的性情渐渐变得平易。一天深夜，循着神秘大宅长廊一端传来的隐隐哭声，她被带到了一个同样古怪而孤独的小生命面前。玛丽的表兄，大宅的少主人科林生来体弱，长年卧病在床，性情乖戾难测。
为了帮助科林，玛丽带他进入了庄园里被关闭多年的秘密花园。孩子们在生机蓬勃的小天地里不受干扰地玩耍，学会了友爱待人，恢复了纯真快乐的天性。
一个因牵涉死亡记忆而被关闭的花园，现在，因为新生命在其中焕发出的活力，被重新开启。这不能不说是自然力的秘密，生命力的奇迹。

今年85岁的金斯伯格（Ruth Bader Ginsburg）是美国最高法院第二位女性大法官。金斯伯格大法官由克林顿提名，1993年宣誓就职，在位已有25年。她影响了最高法院历史上几个最重要的女性权利案件，坚决支持妇女堕胎权利以及同性恋婚姻合法化。她毕生致力于推动性别平权成为一项宪法原则，因此，她也成为了美国最高法院内富有争议的自由派法官之一，作为女性，她深知women for women的作用。
她的个人传记Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg 已有中文译本，名为《异见时刻:"声名狼藉"的金斯伯格大法官》，有兴趣的可以去各大购书平台购买。
Ginsburg was born in Brooklyn, New York, to Russian Jewish immigrants. Her older sister died when she was a baby, and her mother, one of her biggest sources of encouragement, died shortly before Ginsburg graduated from high school. She then earned her bachelor's degree at Cornell University, and became a wife and mother before starting law school at Harvard, where she was one of the few women in her class. Ginsburg transferred to Columbia Law School, where she graduated tied for first in her class. Following law school, Ginsburg turned to academia. She was a professor at Rutgers Law School and Columbia Law School, teaching civil procedure as one of the few women in her field.
Ginsburg spent a considerable part of her legal career as an advocate for the advancement of gender equality and women's rights, winning multiple victories arguing before the Supreme Court. She advocated as a volunteer lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union and was a member of its board of directors and one of its general counsels in the 1970s. In 1980, President Jimmy Carter appointed her to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, where she served until her appointment to the Supreme Court. Ginsburg has received considerable attention in American popular culture; dubbed the "Notorious R.B.G.", she is seen as a symbol of public resistance, private resilience, and justice.
