Born in Manchester, England, on November 24, 1849, Frances Eliza Hodgson<\/strong> moved, at age sixteen, to Knoxville, Tennessee with her mother.<\/p>\n

In 1872, her first story, “Hearts and Diamonds,” was published in Godey’s Ladies Book<\/em>. Her first widely distributed story appeared in Scribner’s Magazine<\/em>. A novel she wrote, That Lass o’ Lowrie’s<\/em>, set in Lancashire, established her as a novelist.<\/p>\n

In 1873, Frances Hodgson married Dr. L.M. Burnett of Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

In 1886, her first book for children was published. Little Lord Fauntleroy<\/em> became a hit with mothers, who let their boys hair grow out into long curls and dressed them in velvet suits with lace collars.<\/p>\n

In 1888 she won a lawsuit in England over the dramatic rights to Little Lord Fauntleroy<\/em>, establishing a precedent that was incorporated into British copyright law in 1911.<\/p>\n

Today, her most remembered work is The Secret Garden<\/em>, which was originally published as Sara Crew. She was also a playwright, producing several well received plays. Mrs. Burnett died in Plandome, New York, in 1924.<\/p>\n
