Author: Frances Eliza Hodgson Burnett
After meeting Lousia May Alcott, Burnett began writing children’s fiction. The subsequent publication of Little Lord Fauntleroy cemented her reputation as a writer of children’s books. While visiting Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee in 1887, Frances wrote the play Sara Crewe, which was later rewritten as a book with the title A Little Princess in 1905. The Secret Garden was later published in 1911.
