Descripción: Biografía del autor Frances Hodgson Burnett (November 24, 1849 - October 29, 1924) was an English playwright and author. She is best known for her children's stories, in particular The Secret Garden (1911), A Little Princess (1905), and Little Lord Fauntleroy (1885-6). She was born in Cheetham, England, and in 1865 emigrated to the United States, settling near Knoxville, Tennessee. The classic children's story, now available in a new package!A classic piece of children's literature first published as a novel in 1911, Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden is a story of transformation and renewal. Unwanted by her parents, Mary Lennox, a spoiled, selfish young girl is raised in India by servants. When cholera breaks out killing her parents and most of the servants, Mary is sent to live with a mostly absent uncle in England. It seems as though no one cares for Mary, and that Mary will never care for anyone--until she steps into the secret garden, and her life begins to change. Now available in this Canterbury Classics edition with a special heat-burnished cover, foil stamping, and designed endpapers, this hopeful and beautiful novel is the perfect gift for every child--and every adult who remembers that first moment when he or she began to finally grow up.
