Frances Eliza Hodgson Burnett, a British novelist and playwright, is celebrated for her beloved children's novels, including Little Lord Fauntleroy, A Little Princess, and The Secret Garden. Following her father's death, her family faced financial struggles, leading to their emigration to the United States in 1865. At 19, she began writing to support her family, eventually publishing her first successful novel, That Lass o' Lowrie's. Burnett's journey from hardship to literary acclaim reflects her resilience and creativity.
