Frances Eliza Hodgson Burnett, a British novelist and playwright, is celebrated for her beloved children's novels, including "Little Lord Fauntleroy," "A Little Princess," and "The Secret Garden." Following her father's death, her family faced financial hardship, prompting their emigration to the U.S. in 1865. At 19, she began writing to support her family, eventually marrying a doctor. Burnett's literary career took off with her first novel, "That Lass o' Lowrie's," which garnered positive reviews, marking the start of her successful writing journey.
