Sobre l'autor

Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924) was a British-American novelist and playwright known for her children's books and the ability to craft immersive tales that have stood the test of time. With an adept literary style poised between realism and romanticism, Burnett's narratives often centered around the triumph of goodness and the resilience of character. Born in Manchester, England, she moved to the United States with her family following the death of her father, which influenced the transatlantic dimensions often found in her works. Amidst her prolific writing career, she penned 'Esmeralda,' a lesser-known play which underscores her versatility in genres, though she gained more fame for her novels such as 'The Secret Garden,' 'A Little Princess,' and 'Little Lord Fauntleroy.' These stories, pivotal in children's literature, delve into the lives of young protagonists who confront challenges with courage and grace—qualities that mirror Burnett's own life narrative. Her ability to weave tales that appeal to both children and adults emphasizes universal themes of redemption, the transformative power of kindness, and the vital role of imagination. Burnett's work remains relevant in discussions of literary heritage, reflecting the Victorian and Edwardian eras' complexities while advocating for a hopeful, if not idealistic, worldview.
