Autor

Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849–1924) was a British-American novelist and playwright renowned for her enchanting children's stories and her novels for adults. Born in Cheetham, England, she emigrated to the United States with her family in 1865 and later became a naturalized citizen. Burnett's literary style often fused incisive social commentary with a rich sense of storytelling, establishing her reputation as a talented author in both children's and adult literature. One of her notable works for adult readers is 'A Lady of Quality' (1896), a historical novel set in the 17th century that explores themes of social class, rebellion, and identity through the life of its imperious heroine, Clorinda Wildairs. In children's literature, Burnett is best remembered for 'The Secret Garden' (1911), 'A Little Princess' (1905), and 'Little Lord Fauntleroy' (1886). Through these works, Burnett's literary craftsmanship has been celebrated for its ability to capture the complexities of childhood with both realism and optimism. Her books have been cherished for generations and continue to resonate due to her capacity to blend vivid characterizations with thoughtful narratives. Burnett's career spanned over four decades, and her prolific body of work has secured her position as a central figure in the canon of English literature for both her juvenile and adult novels.
