The Shuttle
The Shuttle – Frances Hodgson-Burnett This is decidedly Mrs. Burnett’s biggest novel, and one that has created widespread comment from the readers of the Century Magazine, where it has been appearing in serial form. The plot is based on an international marriage between a rich American girl and a degenerate English nobleman. The wife is […]
Two Little Pilgrims‘ Progress
Two Little Pilgrims‘ Progress – Frances Hodgson-Burnett In „Two Little Pilgrims‘ Progress “ Mrs. Burnett is at her best. It is the story of two children — a little boy and girl — brought up on a Western farm, where they have been neglected by their aunt with whom they live, and who find their […]
Emily Fox Seton
Emily Fox Seton – Frances Hodgson-Burnett „The Making of a Marchioness“ and „The Methods of Lady Walderhurst,“ although actually continuous, were published separately in some countries. „Emily Fox-Seton“ is the combination of two in one volume. The rather commonplace hero and heroine, who, however, made such a romantic marriage, remain the same as to disposition, […]
In Connection with De Willoughby Claim
In Connection with De Willoughby Claim – Frances Hodgson-Burnett The novel consists of two plots or movements. Apparently wholly disconnected, but always, as the logic of events carries them on, bending nearer and nearer, until the principal dramatis personae meet in Washington, the keystone is slipped into place, and lo, the two are one! Mrs. […]
A Lady of Quality
A Lady of Quality – Frances Hodgson-Burnett The period of the tale is the reign of Queen Anne, and it is written in the language of the period—an audacious undertaking when one remembers that such a style must invite comparison with that of “ Henry Esmond.“ Mrs. Burnett has written the story of a girl […]
Little Saint Elizabeth (and other stories)
Little Saint Elizabeth (and other stories) – Frances Hodgson-Burnett This volume contains four stories, different in kind, but alike in the grace and spirit of their handling. The pretty tale from which the book borrows its name has for heroine a little French girl brought up in an old chateau in Normandy by an aunt […]
The One I Knew The Best Of All
The One I Knew The Best Of All – Frances Hodgson-Burnett To say that Mrs. Burnett’s account of ‚The One I Knew Best of All‘ is a fascinating book, is to put the matter very mildly. It is not one little girl alone whose experiences are here recorded, but, as the author justly claims, it […]
Editha’s Burglar
Editha’s Burglar – Frances Hodgson-Burnett The precocious child who encountered the burglar in the house at night and entertained him while he pillaged, so as to save her father, who was asleep in an adjoining room, was a creature of Mrs. Burnett’s imagination. She was an entertaining youngster, as self-possessed and mentally alert, in her strange […]
A Little Princess
A Little Princess – Frances Hodgson-Burnett This is the „whole Story“ of Sara Crewe, now told for the first time. All the people that liked Sara Crewe—the „slavey“ who was comforted by the imaginary imprisonment in the Bastile, the little fat girl whose thoughts and affections moved slowly, but in the right direction, „Melchisedec the […]
Little Lord Fauntleroy
Little Lord Fauntleroy – Frances Hodgson-Burnett From the beginning “Little Lord Fauntleroy” was absolutely certain to become one of the few real classics in the literature for children. The author has presented a picture of child-life such as we have never had before; she has not only taken a subject quite new, but she has […]
