LITTLE LORD FAUNTLEROY 
Frances Burnett Hodgson

Frances Hodgson Burnett (Frances Eliza Hodgson), was born in Manchester, England, on November 24, 1849. Upon the death of her father when she was four, her family fell into deep poverty and eventually migrated to Knoxville, Tennessee in 1865 when Frances was 16.  To help contribute to the family's finances, she began writing short pieces for publication. 

Soon she became quite successful and published a number of novels, several of which are still popular to this day.  She is best  remembered for 'The Secret Garden', 'A Little Princess', and 'Little Lord Fauntleroy'. 

Frances lived to see several of her novels made into silent films.  She died in 1924, the same year that actor Freddie Bartholomew was born.  Freddie starred in the first 'talkie' version of Little Lord Fauntleroy (1936).
