Autorenporträt
Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849 – 1924) was an English-American novelist and playwright best known for her children's stories, particularly 'A Little Princess' (1905) and 'The Secret Garden' (1911). Born in Cheetham Hill, Manchester, Burnett immigrated with her family to the United States in 1865, settling in Tennessee. She began her writing career in her late teens, and by the 1870s she was published in prominent magazines. Her early works were romantic tales for adults, but she gained lasting acclaim for her children's literature. Burnett's tales often showcased themes of social injustice and the transformative power of nature and kindness. 'A Little Princess' is a rags-to-riches story of resilience, portraying the life of Sara Crewe, a young girl who prevails against harsh circumstances through imagination and grace. 'The Secret Garden', another definitive classic, revolves around the restorative power of friendship and the natural world, as reflected in the lives of Mary Lennox and Colin Craven. Burnett's evocative storytelling and ability to craft richly detailed characters made her a pioneer of the children's book genre. Her literary style combines a vivid imagination with keen observations of the societal shifts of her time, making her works resonant and cherished among readers worldwide. Burnett's contribution to literature has earned her an enduring legacy in children's literature, where the charm of her narratives continues to inspire generations of readers and writers alike.
