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. Once in Tennessee, she began to help support her mother and siblings by earning money by writing stories. 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.

Editorial Reviews

"Instead of a rags to riches story, this is a riches to rags story . . . a good, girly read."  —Jacqueline Wilson, author, Best Friends
