Author

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.
