Frances Hodgson Burnett

Frances Hodgson Burnett was a British-American novelist and playwright who is one of the most beloved children's authors in literary history. Born in Manchester in 1849, she emigrated to the United States and wrote some of the most enduring classics of children's literature, including The Secret Garden, A Little Princess, and Little Lord Fauntleroy. A Lady of Quality is one of her adult novels — a dramatic story of a strong-willed woman in Restoration-era England. While best known for her children's books, Burnett was also a successful novelist for adults. Burnett died in 1924. Her audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers timeless classics from one of literature's greatest storytellers — fiction that has enchanted generations of readers around the world.
