Frances Hodgson Burnett |
Frances Hodgson Burnett (pictured) began writing professionally at age 18 and became well-known for stories and books for adults. Her first book for children was Little Lord Fauntleroy in 1886. Sara Crewe, or What Happened at Miss Minchin's first appeared as a play and then as a short novel in 1888. Burnett revised and expanded the story in 1905 as A Little Princess. It has become one of the best loved children's books published in the English language. In both A Little Princess and The Secret Garden, themes of imagination, generosity, and self-healing are evident. |
