Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor:

Born in Cheetham, Manchester, England, Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924) developed her love for reading at a very young age. In 1868, Burnett’ s first story was published in Godey’ s Lady’ s Book. She had begun writing for a livelihood and wrote non-stop. Her stories were being published on a regular basis in Peterson’ s Magazine, Harper’ s Bazaar, and Scribner’ s Monthly.
That Lass o’ Lowrie’ s, her first full-length novel, was published in 1877. She started writing children’ s fiction after meeting Louisa May Alcott and Mary Mapes Dodge— the editor of St. Nicholas, a children’ s magazine. Many of her short works were published in this magazine.
She also wrote and published adult fiction, which included Louisiana (1880), A Fair Barbarian (1881), and Through One Administration (1883). Her play Esmerelda (1881) was nineteenth century’ s
longest running play on Broadway. Little Lord Fauntleroy (1886) was Burnett’ s first children’ s novel. It established Burnett’ s reputation as a writer. Burnett published The Secret Garden in 1911. A classic of children’ s literature, it became one of her most popular novels. Burnett’ s other noteworthy works include The Lost Prince (1915), The White People (1917), The Head of the House of Coombe (1922) and its sequel, Robin (1922). "
