作者简介

Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849–1924) was an English-American novelist and playwright best known for her captivating children's stories and novels that characteristicly interweave the themes of youth, wonder, and the resilience of the human spirit. Burnett's writing career began in her late teens when she started to contribute stories to magazines to support her struggling family. Her literary break came with the publication of 'That Lass o' Lowrie's' in 1877, a novel that marked her reputation as a talented writer. However, it was her children's literature, including 'Little Lord Fauntleroy' (1886), 'A Little Princess' (1905), and 'The Secret Garden' (1911), that immortalized Burnett in the world of belletristics. These books have become classics, enchanting generations with their exploration of redemption and the transformative power of nature and kindness. 'The Shuttle' (1907), though less known than her famed children's novels, is another essential work which addresses the transatlantic marriages between American heiresses and British gentry, reflecting social issues of the Gilded Age. Burnett's narrative style is noted for its vivid characterizations, accessibility, and vivid descriptions. Her scholarly legacy persists through the continuous study and enjoyment of her richly textured stories that have not only entertained but also provided insightful commentary on the societal norms of her time.
