The Secret Garden

Elizabeth Goodnight grew up aspiring to be an author of children's books. As the youngest of five, she was always playing make-believe and going on exciting adventures through the neighborhood with her siblings. She never outgrew her vivid imagination and sense of adventure, and she has since used it to create her very first children's book. She hopes to continue writing books that inspire little adventurers just like her.

Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924) was born in Cheetham, England. She and her family immigrated to the United States after her father died and their financial circumstances became strained. Once in Tennessee, she began to help support her mother and siblings by earning money by writing stories. Over her lifetime, she wrote more than forty books, many of which reflected her own family's riches-to-rags circumstances, including her most well-known novels, A Little Princess and The Secret Garden.
