Frances Hodgson Burnett

Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849–1924) wrote some of the most beloved children's books in English — stories in which lonely rooms open, fortunes reverse, and a locked garden can heal a life. The Secret Garden remains her masterpiece: a tale of grief, friendship, and renewal that still feels quietly magical. A Little Princess and Little Lord Fauntleroy show the same gift for placing children at the centre of adult worlds of class, loss, and sudden grace. Born in Manchester and later settled in America, Burnett wrote with both sides of the Atlantic in her ear. Across six titles here, she invites readers into worlds where kindness and courage remake what seemed fixed.
