Frances H. Burnett (1849, Manchester, Inglaterra - 1924, Plandome, Estados Unidos) perdió a su padre cuando tan solo tenía cinco años. La familia hubo de sobrellevar penurias económicas y en 1865 se trasladó a Estados Unidos. Ocho años más tarde Frances se casó, pero antes ya había conseguido publicar en algunas revistas americanas como Godey’s Lady’s Book, Godey’s, Peterson’s Ladies’ Magazine, Scribner’s Monthly y Harper’s. Contaba 28 años cuando apareció ThatLass O’ Lowrie’s (1877), su primera novela. No obstante, fue El pequeño lord Fauntleroy (1886) la historia que más contribuyó en vida de la autora a su popularidad. Estaba dirigida, junto con Sara Crewe (1888) y El jardín secreto (1911), al lector infantil. Esta última se considera su aportación más valiosa.
