Description

|
|
|
Famous in her time for her adult novels and forays into children's literature like Little Lord Fauntleroy and A Little Princess, Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849–1924) is perhaps best known today for The Secret Garden. Her story of a spoiled orphan girl who discovers a long-hidden garden, which revitalizes her own spirit and that of her sickly cousin, has become a favorite of every generation. In this gorgeous book, illuminated with more than 100 illustrations from various editions, Burnett biographer Gretchen Holbrook Gerzina brings out aspects of Burnett's life that led her to write the book, including such details of Victorian England as attitudes toward children and Burnett's spiritual leanings. Gerzina also addresses the magical nature of the tale and the coming together of three children through restoring a hidden garden.
