Emily Fox-Seton je souborný název pro dvě knihy, vydané autorkou v roce 1901. V originále "The Making of a Marchioness" a "The Methods of Lady Walderhurst". Později knihy vycházely souborně ve sloučeném vydání. V češtině pod titulem "Markýza" vydalo vydavatelství Národní politika. Emily Fox-Seton je mladá žena dobrého původu, avšak bez prostředků, která pracuje jako společnice a asistentka různých příslušníků z vyšší třídy. Její hlavní zaměstnavatelkou je lady Maria Bayne, která je nanejvýš sobecká a zároveň komická, přestože cítí k Emily určitou náklonnost. V "popelkovsky" laděném závěru se Emily nakonec provdá za mnohem staršího muže, Jamese, markýze z Walderhurstu. Sama se tak stane markýzou. Ve druhém příběhu Emily porodí Walderhustovi dítě a jeho někdejší dědic, Alec Osborn, se pokouší získat zpět to, co považuje za své právo prvorozeného.

A 12-year-old boy called Marco Loristan, is sent on a secret mission by his father, a Samavian patriot, to deliver an important message across Europe. The young man is joined by his neighborhood friend, The Rat, to embark on a history making journey. In Samavian legend, there was a kind and beloved prince called Ivor who held the people's favor. Despite their adoration, he had no desire to take the throne and suddenly disappeared never to be heard from again. Samavia suffered under cruel leadership, while many hoped for the Lost Prince to return. Years later, a boy called Marco and his father Stefan, prepare for a noble quest that requires the Bearer of the Sign to deliver a critical message. The Lost Prince is an exciting medieval tale full of mystery and fantasy. It's a rich story infused with tradition and heart, similar to Burnett's Little Lord Fauntleroy. It features classic fairytale elements that are fun, adventurous and captivating to the end. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Lost Prince is both modern and readable.

The Shuttle is about American heiresses marrying English aristocrats; by extension it is about the effect of American energy, dynamism and affluence on an effete and impoverished English ruling class. Sir Nigel Anstruthers crosses the Atlantic to look for a rich wife and returns with the daughter of an American millionaire, Rosalie Vanderpoel. He turns out to be a bully, a miser and a philanderer and virtually imprisons his wife in the house. Only when Rosalie's sister Bettina is grown up does it occur to her and her father that some sort of rescue expedition should take place. And the beautiful, kind and dynamic Bettina leaves for Europe to try and find out why Rosalie has, inexplicably, chosen to lose touch with her family. In the process she engages in a psychological war with Sir Nigel; meets and falls in love with another Englishman; and starts to use the Vanderpoel money to modernize ‘Stornham Court’. The book’s title refers to ships shuttling back and forth over the Atlantic (Frances Hodgson Burnett herself traveled between the two countries thirty-three times, something very unusual then).
