Description
"The Secret Garden and A Little Princess" by Frances Hodgson Burnett, illustrated by Jan Burridge and Louise Hill, published by Sebastian Kelly, London, Great Britain, printed and bound in the E.C., 1999. First edition, First printing with full number line on the copyright page.
Illustrated faux leather hard boards, gold stamped spine, 7.1/2” x 9.3/4”; decorated endpapers, 442 pages, b/w text decorations and several full-color plates, very good condition.
The Secret Garden: Ten-year-old Mary comes to live in a lonely house on the Yorkshire moors and discovers an invalid cousin and the mysteries of a locked garden.; A Little princess: Sara Crewe, a pupil at Miss Minchin's London school, is left in poverty when her father dies but is later rescued by a mysterious benefactor.
Frances Eliza Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924) was a British-American novelist and playwright. She is best known for the three children's novels "Little Lord Fauntleroy" (published in 1885–1886), "A Little Princess" (1905), and "The Secret Garden" (1911).
Frances Eliza Hodgson was the daughter of ironmonger Edwin Hodgson, who died three years after her birth, and his wife Eliza Boond. She was educated at The Select Seminary for Young Ladies and Gentleman until the age of fifteen, at which point the family ironmongery, then being run by her mother, failed, and the family emigrated to Knoxville, Tennessee. Here Hodgson began to write, in order to supplement the family income, assuming full responsibility for the family upon the death of her mother, in 1870. In 1872, she married Dr. Swan Burnett, with whom she had two sons, Lionel and Vivian. The marriage was dissolved in 1898. In 1900, Burnett married actor Stephen Townsend until 1902 when they got divorced. Following her great success as a novelist, playwright, and children's author, Burnett maintained homes in both England and America, traveling back and forth quite frequently. She died in her Long Island, New York home, in 1924.
