Her childhood friend and neighbor Swan Burnett asked for Frances' hand in marriage several times over a seven year period. Although she claimed she did not love him, she acquiesced to the social pressures of the time, which dictated that a woman's place was in the home. They married in 1873, and she supported her husband with her writing while he w...
In 1886, she published her piece de resistance, Little Lord Fauntleroy. Her son, Lionel was the one who encouraged her to write it by asking, "Why don't you write a book that a little boy would like to read?" As it turned out, although it was written as a children's book, it had a wide appeal, especially with mothers. Little boys most certainly cha...
In 1890, tragedy struck when her oldest son died of tuberculosis. In turn-of-the-century America, this dreadful disease was the number one cause of fatalities. She tried to nurse Lionel back to health but he faded slowly and passed away, only 16 years of age. Hurt by the press' criticism of her as a mother and in mourning, Burnett refused interview...
In later years, public sentiment and reporters turned against Burnett and she strove to live out of the spotlight. Her last public appearance was the screening of Little Lord Fauntleroythe film, in 1921. Frances' had her own walled English garden on her estate at Plandome, Long Island. Reportedly, it was filled with roses and hollyhocks and one can...
Although she is best remembered for The Secret Garden, written after she moved to Plandome, Long Island, Little Lord Fauntleroy was the most popular of her works during her lifetime. Many of Burnett's books have long been forgotten; however, The Secret Gardenis still in print and in 1989, was re-released by four publishers. The updated illustration...
Little Lord Fauntleroy, staged often as a play, was first made into a film during the heyday of silent movies. In 1921, it opened in New York City with child star Mary Pickford, who played Cedric with her long blond curls and, with her hair pinned up, played Cedric's mother. This was considered a breakthrough in movie technology; Pickford wore tall...

Burnett’s clumsy metaphor opens the novel, but fortunately she soon moves on to her protagonist—Rosalie’s sister, Bettina, a tenacious young woman who is a worthy addition to Burnett’s list of stalwart heroines.

The heroine of the novel is a strong-willed girl raised as a boy, who later accidentally kills her former boyfriend, hides his body, and lives happily without punishment or regrets. To many reviewers, this book was a sign that Burnett was no longer interested in being taken seriously.
