Om författaren
Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849–1924) was a British-born American novelist and playwright, best known for her endearing children's stories and her prowess in capturing the essence of Victorian-era society in her work. Amongst her acclaimed titles, 'Vagabondia' (1884) is a lesser-known gem that underscores her versatility and depth in writing for an adult audience. Born in Cheetham, England, Burnett moved to the United States following the death of her father, where she eventually found success as a writer. Her first notable triumph was the publication of 'That Lass o' Lowrie's' in 1877, which established her literary reputation. Burnett's narratives often feature themes of social class disparity, a byproduct of her own experiences of financial hardship after her family's move to a small town in Tennessee. Her most famous works include 'Little Lord Fauntleroy' (1885), 'A Little Princess' (1905), and 'The Secret Garden' (1911). These novels not only solidified her status in the literary world but also won her a permanent spot in the annals of classic children's literature. Burnett's writing is characterized by vivid characterizations and incisive explorations of morality and identity, a style that harmonizes realism with uplifting optimism. Her lasting impact is felt not just in her storytelling, but also in the way she seamlessly bridged the cultural gaps between her British heritage and her adopted American home.
