作者简介
Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849–1924) was an English-American novelist and playwright, best known for her children's stories and for her unique narrative style that blended an astute social commentary with a touch of fantasy. She was born in Cheetham, England, and later moved to the United States following the death of her father, which left the family financially destitute. Burnett began writing to support her family and quickly gained prominence, displaying remarkable versatility in both adult and children's literature. Her work often highlighted the contrasts between the wealthy and the impoverished, alongside themes of transformation through personal resilience. Notably, 'The Making of a Marchioness' is among her works that exemplify this literary paradigm, weaving a tale of a Cinderella-like character who ascends to the upper echelon of society. Burnett's other celebrated works include 'Little Lord Fauntleroy', 'A Little Princess', and 'The Secret Garden', each underscoring her masterful use of character-driven narratives that appeal to a sense of wonder and the innate goodness of people. Her contribution to literature is timeless, her books having captivated multiple generations and continuing to be cherished for their heartfelt storytelling and unyielding optimism.
