Autorka pútavým spôsobom podáva príbeh osamelého dievčatka. Dostáva sa z Indie do Anglicka. Rozmazaná, odutá, namyslená Mary začne objavovať nové pocity, ktoré v sebe nikdy nepoznala. Ľútosť, radosť, milosť. Začne objavovať samu seba, ale aj tajomnú záhradu, ktorá je už niekoľko rokov zamknutá. Spoznáva Dickona, chlapca, ktorý rozumie zvieratám a Colina. Spoločne pátrajú po tajomnej záhrade.
Tajná záhrada (The Secret Garden), dnes už klasické dielo anglickej a svetovej literatúry, vyšla prvýkrát v roku 1911 a uchvátila čitateľov príbehom o odvahe a sile dvoch nešťastných detí, ktoré sa rozhodli urobiť život svoj i ľudí okolo seba krajším a radostnejším. Toto pozoruhodné nové vydanie vychádza na Slovensku v tejto podobe prvýkrát. Text dopĺňajú nádherné ilustrácie Ingy Moorovej, prepracované do posledného detailu a zachytávajúce zázračný prerod tajnej záhrady, ktorá sa vďaka citlivej starostlivosti Mary Lennoxovej, jej bratanca Colina a yorkshirského chlapca Dickona postupne prebúdza k životu.
Magický príbeh o odhodlaní a priateľstve, ktoré menia životy. Keď Mary Lennoxová príde z Indie na pochmúrne panstvo Misselthwaite, je len rozmaznané a panovačné dieťa. Zároveň je to však aj veľmi osamelé dievča, ktoré práve osirelo a svet sa mu od základov zmenil. Jedného dňa však objaví zanedbanú záhradu, ktorú celú večnosť zahaľovalo rúško ťaživého tajomstva. S pomocou červienky, malého zvedavého vtáčika, získa Mary kľúč od dverí a vstúpi do neuveriteľného sveta, ktorý od okolitého panstva oddeľovali vysoké záhradné múry. Práve tam zistí, že priateľstvo dokáže robiť zázraky, rovnako ako čarovná záhrada.

Emily Fox-Seton je souborný název pro dvě knihy, vydané autorkou v roce 1901. V originále "The Making of a Marchioness" a "The Methods of Lady Walderhurst". Později knihy vycházely souborně ve sloučeném vydání. V češtině pod titulem "Markýza" vydalo vydavatelství Národní politika. Emily Fox-Seton je mladá žena dobrého původu, avšak bez prostředků, která pracuje jako společnice a asistentka různých příslušníků z vyšší třídy. Její hlavní zaměstnavatelkou je lady Maria Bayne, která je nanejvýš sobecká a zároveň komická, přestože cítí k Emily určitou náklonnost. V "popelkovsky" laděném závěru se Emily nakonec provdá za mnohem staršího muže, Jamese, markýze z Walderhurstu. Sama se tak stane markýzou. Ve druhém příběhu Emily porodí Walderhustovi dítě a jeho někdejší dědic, Alec Osborn, se pokouší získat zpět to, co považuje za své právo prvorozeného.

Samavia suffered under cruel leadership, while many hoped for the Lost Prince to return. Years later, a boy called Marco and his father Stefan, prepare for a noble quest that requires the Bearer of the Sign to deliver a critical message.

The Shuttle is about American heiresses marrying English aristocrats; by extension it is about the effect of American energy, dynamism and affluence on an effete and impoverished English ruling class. Sir Nigel Anstruthers crosses the Atlantic to look for a rich wife and returns with the daughter of an American millionaire, Rosalie Vanderpoel. He turns out to be a bully, a miser and a philanderer and virtually imprisons his wife in the house. Only when Rosalie's sister Bettina is grown up does it occur to her and her father that some sort of rescue expedition should take place. And the beautiful, kind and dynamic Bettina leaves for Europe to try and find out why Rosalie has, inexplicably, chosen to lose touch with her family. In the process she engages in a psychological war with Sir Nigel; meets and falls in love with another Englishman; and starts to use the Vanderpoel money to modernize ‘Stornham Court’. The book’s title refers to ships shuttling back and forth over the Atlantic (Frances Hodgson Burnett herself traveled between the two countries thirty-three times, something very unusual then).
