Frances Hodgson Burnett

by

Joyce Hemsley

Series of famous British names:

FRANCES HODGSON BURNETT
English author of books and plays.
Born in Manchester eighteen forty-nine
Died in New York nineteen twenty-four
She married England's Dr. Burnett...
Famous for her many novels, forty in all,
including Secret Garden, Sara Crew,
A Little Princess, Louisiana, and of
course, the well known children's novel
Little Lord Fauntleroy. This story was
about a young boy, who dressed in velvet
suit with collar of lace. The book caught
on and the fashion stayed for many years.

Although Frances had a house in America,
she spent many of her last years here in
England; her son wrote a biography 1927.
I have written a short rictameter, and
here it is:

Frances
Hodgson Burnett
born Manchester England
famous for her novels and plays
and the story Little Lord Fauntleroy;
Fran lived in the United States
a few years of her life
but is England's
Frances

Little Lord Fontleroy can be read on-line
and Frances Burnett is becoming more and
more popular, because of this facility.
