About the author

Born in Manchester, England, in 1849, she moved to the United States as a teenager after her father's death left the family in difficult circumstances. She began writing to help support them, and her stories soon found a wide audience in magazines and books.

She became one of the most popular authors of her time, especially for novels centered on children and family life. Little Lord Fauntleroy, A Little Princess, and The Secret Garden made her famous for creating young characters whose inner strength, kindness, and imagination shape the world around them.

Her work often blends emotional realism with comfort, humor, and a belief in renewal. That mix helped her books endure long after her death in 1924, and they continue to be rediscovered by new generations of readers.
