About the Author
Frances Hodgson Burnett, born on November 24, 1849, in Manchester, England, emerged as a prominent author whose works captivated readers with their charm and emotional depth. After her father's death and the family's financial struggles, Burnett emigrated to the United States in 1865, where she settled in Tennessee. Her early writing career began with short stories and articles, but she gained widespread recognition with her first novel, That Lass o' Lowrie's, published in 1877, which showcased her keen observation of social issues and her ability to craft engaging narratives.Burnett's literary success continued with her transition to writing children's books, where she found her true calling. Her most famous works, including Little Lord Fauntleroy (1886) and A Little Princess (1905), became classics of children's literature. These stories, celebrated for their rich storytelling and strong moral themes, reflect her deep empathy and understanding of childhood experiences, resonating with both young and adult audiences. Her ability to create relatable, endearing characters helped solidify her place in literary history.Throughout her life, Burnett experienced personal and financial ups and downs, including two marriages and a subsequent divorce. Despite these challenges, she remained a prolific writer and continued to publish well into the early 20th century. Frances Hodgson Burnett passed away on October 29, 1924, in Plandome, New York, leaving behind a legacy of beloved stories that continue to inspire and entertain readers worldwide.

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.
