Cuando Mary Lennox se fue a vivir con su tío a Misselthwaite Manor, todos decían que era una niña de aspecto muy desagradable; y era cierto. En su cara delgada se reflejaba una expresión amarga. Su cuerpo era flaco y pequeño; su pelo, de color amarillo, era fino y escaso; su rostro era también pálido, quizás porque había nacido en la India, en donde, por una razón u otra, enfermaba continuamente. Su padre había sido empleado del gobierno inglés y sus obligaciones eran innumerables. Su madre, una mujer de gran belleza, sólo se preocupaba de asistir a las más alegres fiestas. Ella no quería tener una niña; por eso, cuando Mary nació, la entregó al cuidado de una aya a quien dio a entender que, para servir bien a la Mem Sahib debía mantenerla alejada de su presencia. Así, esta niña irritable, débil y feúcha estuvo siempre lejos de su madre. Ella sólo recordaba haber visto a su alrededor las caras morenas de su aya y de los demás sirvientes hindúes. Estos, para que no llorara o molestara a la Mem Sahib, la obedecían y le daban gusto en todo. De esta manera, al cumplir los seis años, Mary se había convertido en un ser tiránico y egoísta. La joven institutriz inglesa contratada para enseñarle a leer y escribir le tomó tal antipatía que a los tres meses dejó su trabajo. Otro tanto ocurrió con las institutrices que la sucedieron, y si a Mary no le hubiera interesado verdaderamente saber lo que contenían los libros, ni siquiera habría aprendido a leer. Tenía casi nueve años cuando una mañana de intenso calor la niña despertó muy malhumorada. Se enfadó aún más al ver a su lado a una sirvienta que no era su aya.

A Little Princess is one of Frances' most-loved novels. Penned by Frances Hodgson Burnett, an English-American playwright & author who is always remembered for her masterpiece in Children's Literature & Stories, A Little Princess is a heart-warming story of an innocent little girl. The rags to riches storyline of all her novels manifest her rise from being criticized as 'Scandalous' to an International author. However, even after being a popular figure, Frances never forgot about the hardships she had faced in her childhood and yet always was generous towards others. We get some glimpse of that replicated in her stories as well.

Frances Hodgson Burnett wrote a book titled Little Lord Fauntleroy. From November 1885 to October 1886, it was published as a serial in St. Nicholas Magazine. In 1886, Scribner's (St. Nicholas' publisher) published it as a book. When Burnett prevailed in a legal battle against E. V. Seebohm in 1888 for the rights to stage adaptations of the work, the novel established a precedent in copyright law, setting fashion trends with the illustrations by Reginald B. Birch. The Anglo-French surname Fauntleroy, which conveys the idea of being spoiled and pampered, is ultimately derived from Le enfant le Roy ("child of the king"). It is derived more closely from the Middle English version of defect from infant, which means child or infant. As a legitimate surname, it has been used since the 13th century. The Earl intended to impart aristocratic values to his grandson. Cedric instructs his grandfather instead on the virtue of having compassion for others who are reliant upon him. The Earl matures into the person Cedric had always mistakenly assumed him to be. Cedric is delighted to be reunited with his mother and Mr. Hobbs, who chooses to remain to assist in caring for Cedric.

When the rather genteel and very English village of Slowbridge, whose social life revolves around its extremely conservative and aristocratic female matriarch, finds itself playing host to mills within its vicinity it seems a disaster. Mills mean smoke and dirt and coarse working people, rather prone to mob violence as well as foul language.As if that was not enough the niece of a respected inhabitant - a young American girl of all things - suddenly descends on the village, and in doing so provides a second shock to its system.A wonderful read, full of humour, from the pen of a writer, born in Lancashire, who honed her craft in the USA.Published in support of the Working Class Movement Library, 51 The Crescent, Salford, M5 4WX.

FULLY ILLUSTRATED. The One I Knew the Best of All traces the early life of Frances Hodgson Burnett. In it she relates her earliest memories as a child in a North Manchester middle-class home and, following her father's death, in Salford. Although a well-behaved little girl she relates her fascination with "back street" children and their language - the Lancashire dialect - which she sets out to learn. At the same time she provides a vivid description of the differences in the lives of those who laboured to produce Lancashire's wealth and those who took possession of it. Finally she deals with the American Civil War - the consequent Lancashire Cotton Famine - its devastating effects - her family's impoverishment and subsequent flight across the Atlantic. Here, in Tennessee, they make a new life, and Frances is forced to examine ways they can make a living. A brilliant, entertaining and thought provoking read. Published in support of The Working Class Movement Library, Salford, M5 4WX.

In telling a tale of Lancashire life Frances Hodgson was on familiar ground. Brought up in the world's first industrial city she would have been all too aware of the lot of working women - whether they toiled in the coal pit or a spinning mill.However, she did not begin to write until the family migrated to America following her father's death and their subsequent fall into poverty as a result of the Lancashire Cotton Famine caused by the American Civil War. Here she married Swan Burnet in 1872.That Lass O' Lowrie's was her first novel, but by no means her worst. A dark portrait of pit village life and yet a joyous and uplifting read.Published to raise funds for the Working Class Movement Library, Salford, M5 4WX.
