The exposition gives us context into time and place. Mary Lennox starts out in India with her parents. She is in a village, where an outbreak of cholera kills everyone except for her. She is sent to live with her uncle, Archibald Craven. He lives in a place called Misselthwaite Manor, where there are more than 100 rooms. Mr. Craven has been in grief for 10 years since his wife died.
