Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849–1924)
Auteur van De geheime tuin
Over de Auteur
Frances Hodgson Burnett wrote for children and adults, publishing both plays and novels. She was born in Manchester, England, on November 24, 1849. Her father, who owned a furniture store, died when she was only four years old. Her mother struggled to keep the family business running while trying toon meer to raise five children. Finally, because of the failing Manchester economy, the family sold the store and immigrated to the United States. In 1865 they settled just outside of Knoxville, Tennessee. Hoping to offset her family's continuing financial troubles, Burnett began to submit her stories to women's magazines. She was immediately successful. In the late 1860s her stories were published in nearly every popular American magazine. Burnett helped to support her family with income from the sale of her stories, even saving enough to finance a trip back to England, where she stayed for over a year. In 1879, Burnett published her first stories for children; two of her most popular are A Little Princess and The Secret Garden. In contrast to an extremely successful career, Burnett's personal life held many challenges. Her son Lionel was diagnosed with tuberculosis at age 15, from which he never recovered. His death inspired several stories about dead or dying children. Burnett lived her later years on Long Island, New York. She died in 1924. (Bowker Author Biography) toon minder

Classic Starts: A Little Princess door Frances Hodgson Burnett
As a student at Miss Minchin's school for young ladies, Sara Crewe is loved and respected, until one day a tragic event turns her whole life upside-down. Forced to live in poverty and work as a servant for the girls she used to call her friends, Sara must find a way to hold onto the life she once knew... even if it is just make-believe.
Acclaimed illustrator Wendy Anderson Halperin celebrates Frances Hodgson Burnett's classic, a tale of two dollhouses, just in time for its 100th anniversary. When Tidy Castle arrives, brand-new and grand in every way, the Racketty-Packetty House has never looked shabbier, and it is shoved in the corner of Cynthia's nursery. But the Racketty family still dances, sings, and laughs louder than all the fancy dolls combined. When a real-life princess visits the nursery, the Rackettys learn that the humans are planning to destroy their house. Only a miracle -- or some very unusual magic -- can save them now!… (meer)
What can I say about this? This was my favorite book as a kid and continues to hold such a special place in my heart. I'm honestly convinced this book formed me into who I am today.
Caveat: I've read this book about 500 times as a child, and I'm not able to review it without bias.
I will mention that it is problematic in how it attributes to some vague "Magic" what should be attributed to God (even in the story itself God is mentioned positively, so, I don't get the whole pre-New Agey vibe). Sara is an extreme Mary Sue, but on the other hand, it's so nice to read a book about a person who does so well at practicing virtue, so I'm torn on that. Ah well, I enjoyed it deeply once again, and I can't wait until my little ones are old enough to enjoy a readaloud :)… (meer)
