About the Author
Frances Eliza Hodgson Burnett, born on November 24, 1849, in Manchester, England, transitioned from early adversity following her father's death to become a cherished British-American novelist and playwright. Her literary journey began in Tennessee, where her family relocated, and through her writing, she supported them from a young age. Burnett's marriage to Swan Burnett took her across the Atlantic, enriching her experiences and narratives, leading to classics like Little Lord Fauntleroy and A Little Princess.Burnett's life was a blend of personal challenges and literary triumphs, with the loss of her son Lionel deeply impacting her. The later years of her life saw her navigating through two marriages, eventually settling in New York, where she penned The Secret Garden, a masterpiece reflecting her healing journey. Her legacy, encapsulated by a memorial in Central Park, continues to inspire through her exploration of loss, resilience, and the redemptive power of nature and imagination.
Tasha Tudor's detailed, delicate artwork has been cherished by millions of readers. She illustrated nearly one hundred books, and received multiple awards and honors, including two Caldecott Honors.
