When her father died in 1853 the family was plunged into poverty, and the young Fanny began writing to escape the grim realities of life. In 1865 the family moved to America where she met her future husband, Dr Swann Burnett. Her book<i> Little Lord Fauntleroy</i> was published in 1886 and was an instant success, launching a career that would produce over forty books. It was followed by the publication of <i>A Little Princess</i> in book form in 1905 and <i>The Secret Garden</i> in 1911. Frances Hodgson Burnett died in 1924.
