Frances Hodgson Burnett 1849-1924 was an English- American playwright and author. She was best known for her childrens stories, in particular The Secret Garden 1911 and Little Lord Fauntleroy 1886 . Her first story was published in Godeys Ladys Book in 1868. Her main writing talent was combining realistic detail of workingclass life with a romantic plot. Her first novel was published in 1877; That Lass o Lowries was a story of Lancashire life. After moving to Washington, D.C., Burnett wrote the novels Haworths 1879 , Louisiana 1880 , A Fair Barbarian 1881 , and Through One Administration 1883 , as well as a play, Esmeralda 1881 , written with William Gillette. Her later works include Sara Crewe, or, What Happened at Miss Minchins 1888 - later rewritten as A Little Princess 1905 ; and A Lady of Quality 1896 - considered one of the best of her plays. The Lost Prince was published in 1915, and The Head of the House of Coombe was published in Canada in 1922. During World War I, Burnett put her beliefs about what happens after death into writing with her novella The White People 1917 .
