Burnett was born in Manchester, England in 1849 but after the death of her father, she emigrated with her family to the Knoxville, Tennessee, USA in 1865. The American edition by Stokes featured illustrations by Maria Louise Kirk, while illustrations in the British edition published by Heinemann were by Charles Heath Robinson. She died in 1924.First published as a US serial in The American Magazine beginning in 1910, The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett was first published as a book in 1911. Burnett lived her later years on Long Island, New York. His death inspired several stories about dead or dying children. Her son Lionel was diagnosed with tuberculosis at age 15, from which he never recovered. In contrast to an extremely successful career, Burnett's personal life held many challenges. In 1879, Burnett published her first stories for children two of her most popular are A Little Princess and The Secret Garden. 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 the late 1860s her stories were published in nearly every popular American magazine. Hoping to offset her family's continuing financial troubles, Burnett began to submit her stories to women's magazines. In 1865 they settled just outside of Knoxville, Tennessee. Finally, because of the failing Manchester economy, the family sold the store and immigrated to the United States. Her mother struggled to keep the family business running while trying to raise five children. Her father, who owned a furniture store, died when she was only four years old. She was born in Manchester, England, on November 24, 1849. Frances Hodgson Burnett wrote for children and adults, publishing both plays and novels.
