Following the death of her mother in 1867, an 18-year-old Frances was now the head of a family of four younger siblings. She turned to writing to support them all, with a first story published in Godey's Lady's Book in 1868. Soon after she was being published regularly in Godey's, Scribner's Monthly, Peterson's Ladies' Magazine and Harper's Bazaar. Her main writing talent was combining realistic detail of working-class life with a romantic plot. Her first novel was published in 1877; That Lass o' Lowrie's was a story of Lancashire life. After moving with her husband to Washington, D.C., Burnett wrote the novels Haworth's (1879), Louisiana (1880), A Fair Barbarian (1881), and Through One Administration (1883), as well as a play, Esmeralda (1881), written with William Gillette...Her later works include Sara Crewe (1888) - later rewritten as A Little Princess (1905); The Lady of Quality (1896) - considered one of the best of her plays; and The Secret Garden (1909), the children's novel for which she is probably best known today. The Lost Prince was published in 1915..."

Autorenporträt
Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849–1924) was a prominent British-American novelist and playwright, recognized for her contributions to children's literature as well as her exploration of adult themes. Born in Cheetham, England, Burnett emigrated with her family to the United States following the death of her father, which left the family financially strained. In the New World, Burnett quickly turned to writing to support her family, initially gaining success with stories in magazines. Her literary career flourished with the publication of the children's classic 'Little Lord Fauntleroy' (1886), which became an instant hit and solidified her reputation as a skilled writer. Burnett's versatility is displayed in her work 'T. Tembarom' (1913), a novel that intertwines themes of identity, class, and romance. Unlike her famous children's books such as 'The Secret Garden' (1911) and 'A Little Princess' (1905), 'T. Tembarom' caters to an adult readership, showcasing her adeptness in creating nuanced, compelling characters and exploring the societal dynamics of both the British gentry and the American working class. Burnett's literary style is characterized by its vivid characterizations, descriptive settings, and a keen understanding of human nature, which continues to captivate readers. She remains an influential figure in the literary world, with her works being continually resurrected through adaptations and taught in educational settings.
