But when she learns that she'll never see her beloved father again, her life is turned upside down.

About the author:

Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924) was born in Manchester.

She had a very poor upbringing and used to escape from the horror of her surroundings by writing stories.

In 1865 her family emigrated to the USA where she married and became the successful author of many children's books including The Secret Garden, A Little Princess and Little Lord Fauntleroy.
