Francis Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924) was a novelist and playwright born in England but raised in the United States. As a child, she was an avid reader who also wrote her own stories. What was initially a hobby would soon become a legitimate and respected career. As a late-teen, she published her first story in Godey's Lady's Book and was a regular contributor to several periodicals. She began producing novels starting with That Lass o' Lowrie's followed by Haworth's and Louisiana. Yet, she was best known for her children's books including Little Lord Fauntleroy and The Secret Garden.
