She was married twice, and Burnett was her first husband's surname. 1873, she married Dr. S.M.Burnett and gave birth to two sons.

Burnett's father died young and his family was poor. From the age of 18, he published stories in magazines to supplement his family. Her first bestseller was The Little Girl, published at the age of 28, which was based on her childhood life in a British coal mine. However, it is her children's literature that makes Burnett famous all over the world. 1886, she published the novel "Little Master fauntroy", which tells the story of an American boy who became the heir to the British Earl. Since then, "fauntroy" has become an English vocabulary, meaning "children who are overdressed". This book made Burnett one of the best-selling and richest pop writers at that time. This book and The Little Princess published by 1905 have been adapted into plays. 1939 The movie "Little Princess" was starred by Shirley Temper, a child star who was very popular at that time. Burnett loved plants since he was a child and devoted himself to gardening after his divorce. There are several walled gardens around her house in England. One of them is her outdoor study where she writes every day. 1909, when she arranged her own garden in Long Island, new york, she had a sudden inspiration and conceived a secret garden. The first edition of this novel was published in 19 1 1, which was a best seller in her two countries-Britain and the United States, and became her most famous and successful work.

Grandfather of noble family, grandson of common family.

1886, her children's novel "Grandfather of the Noble and Grandson of the Civilian" was published, and it became famous for a while. This book, together with Haggard's The Mineral Deposit of King Solomon and Tolstoy's War and Peace, became the three best-sellers in the United States that year. Grandfather of the Noble and Grandson of the Common People is Mrs. Burnett's classic masterpiece, which has been sold well for nearly a century and has been made into movies many times. It tells the story of a gifted and beautiful little boy who experienced great changes in his life and became the heir to the title. The calmness, elegance, tolerance and love shown by the little hero in the face of all kinds of honors and disgraces have infected people around him and readers from generation to generation, calling for people's desire for goodness. In this masterpiece of children's literature, we will not only see the legendary story of ups and downs, but also see the glory of virtue sprouting from innocence. Due to the change of people's interest in art appreciation, the new generation of readers are too naive to the young master, and the little princess will never grow up. The more or less "sentimentality" in the two books will be a bit out of place. However, this does not prevent us (adult and adolescent readers) from appreciating their simplicity, kindness, perseverance and courage. The story is bitter first and then sweet, and there is a "happy ending" ... these are reminiscent of the framework of fairy tales, such as Cinderella. At first, children's literature developed from fairy tales and nursery rhymes. I'm afraid it is difficult for people who lack childlike innocence to approach children's literature.

Masterpiece "Little Princess"

"When I was young, I was often shrouded in a huge melancholy and felt that my environment was terrible. I often feel depressed and uneasy. It was The Little Princess that gave me the courage to rush out of the shadows-The Little Princess was indeed an extraordinary book, and she even made me feel like a princess who came to earth. " Hillary? 6? 1 Clinton

Sarah is a clever little girl. She grew up without a mother and lived alone with her father, who was an officer stationed in India. In order to get a good education for his beloved daughter, his father spent a lot of money to send her back to an aristocratic school in England and became a little princess envied by everyone. But not long after, my father listened to my friend's advice, and as a result, my investment failed and I died of anxiety. Sarah changed from a little princess to a poor little orphan girl overnight. The headmaster of an aristocratic school, a perverse old lady, saw that Sarah was in abject poverty and could not get any money from her. She immediately turned against Sarah, drove her to the attic next to the girl who washed the dishes and made her do all kinds of chores. How will she face the cruel life changes, how to face the cold eyes around her, how to go through all kinds of hardships, infect her little friends with her inner nobility, and become a little princess in her heart? Finally, how to get back a large legacy and make the principal feel extremely embarrassed? All this is vividly described in the novel.

The film of the same name adapted from this novel was written by Lan Xiu, a famous Hollywood child star. 6? 1, starring Deng Boer, has been rated as one of the best children's films, which is popular all over the world.
