Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924), autrice di famosissimi romanzi per ragazzi come "Il piccolo lord Fauntleroy", "Il giardino segreto" e "La piccola principessa", continuamente ristampati e sempre in commercio, scrisse anche romanzi per adulti. Nel 2010 astoria ha pubblicato "Un matrimonio inglese", nel 2016 "L’imprevedibile destino di Emily Fox-Seton" e nel 2017 "La vita inusuale di T. Tembarom", accolti con favore dalla critica e dal pubblico. Donna dalla vita complicata – un matrimonio fallito, diversi rovesci di fortuna –cominciò a scrivere per aiutare finanziariamente la famiglia: trasferitasi con la madre e i fratelli negli Stati Uniti, ottenne uno straordinario successo con "Il piccolo lord Fauntleroy", che le concesse una certa agiatezza economica. Trascorse la sua vita tra Inghilterra e America e fu in parte per questa “doppia esistenza” che riuscì a vedere con maggiore chiarezza di altri suoi contemporanei l’aspetto oscuro della condizione femminile e l’eterno problema inglese legato alle classi sociali.
