Secret Garden, The

About the Story

Secret Garden, The Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924) was born in Cheetham, England, and later emigrated to the United States, where her family settled in Knoxville, TN. In Knoxville, Burnett started to write stories and publish them in magazines to earn money for her family. In the 1880s, Burnett traveled to England and bought a home in Kent, England. The Secret Garden is inspired by Burnett’s expansive flower garden there, which included a large rose garden. At the time of her death in 1924, Burnett was best known for her novel Little Lord Fauntleroy; however, The Secret Garden is now considered her most prominent work and is considered today to be one of the best children’s books of the 20th century of which several film, TV, and stage adaptations have been produced.
