About the author
Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924) was born in Cheetham, England. She and her family immigrated to the United States after her father died and their financial circumstances became strained.

Over her lifetime, she wrote more than forty books, many of which reflected her own family’s riches-to-rags circumstances, including her most well-known novels, A Little Princess and The Secret Garden.
