Frances Hodgson Burnett was an English-American playwright and author, best known for her children's novels, particularly "The Secret Garden," "A Little Princess," and "Little Lord Fauntleroy." Born on November 24, 1849, in Manchester, England, she moved to the United States as a child and became a prominent figure in children's literature during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Burnett's works often explore themes of childhood, resilience, and the transformative power of nature.
