I have seen all the other films of this title and none comes close to the wonderful feeling you get when you watch this version. I also wish it would come out on DVD. I would buy it in a minute. I lost my VHS version due to a flood and of all things I lost I miss this one the most. Classic Role for Shirley Temple This story is admittedly sentimental and even syrupy, but admirers of Frances Hodgeson Burnett won't care! If you've enjoyed The Little Princess and The Secret Garden, you surely will want to read her third famous children's classic. The seven-year-old American protagonist is simply too sweet and good-natured to be true; his widowed mother is a study in patient suffering. Suddenly informed that her son is the heir to an Earldom in England, the mother gives up her homeland to restore her son to his rightful legacy. But his crusty old grandfather

Arthur's Classic Novels In the first place, Miss Minchin lived in London. Her home was a large, dull, tall one, in a large, dull square, where all the houses were alike, and all the sparrows were alike, and where all the door-knockers made the same heavy sound, and on still daysand nearly all the days were still seemed to resound through the entire row in which the knock was knocked. On Miss Minchin's door there was a brass plate. On the brass plate there was inscribed in black letters, Miss Minchin's Select Seminary For Young Ladies "A most beautiful and promising little girl, Captain Crewe. She will be a favorite pupil; quite a favorite pupil, I see." For the first year she was a favorite pupil; at least she was indulged a great deal more than was good for her. And when the Select Seminary went walking, two by two, she was always decked out in her grandest clothes, and led by the hand at the head of the genteel procession, by Miss Minchin herself. And when the parents of any of the pupils came, she was always dressed and called into the parlor with her doll; and she used to hear Miss Minchin say that her father was a distinguished Indian officer, and she would be heiress to a great fortune. That her father had inherited a great deal of money, Sara had heard before; and also that some day it would be hers, and that he would not remain long in the army, but would come to live in London. And every time a letter came, she hoped it would say he was coming, and they were to live together again.

    Extractions: Louisa May Alcott Laura Benet Judy Blume Frances Hodgson Burnett ... Mary Elizabeth Mapes Dodge Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) was an American author. Her best-known book, Little Women (1868-1869) tells the story of four sisters growing up in a New England town during the mid-1800's. Alcott also worked to gain voting rights for women and was active in the temperance (antidrinking) movement. Alcott was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania, but she grew up in Boston and Concord, Massachusetts. Her father, Bronson Alcott, was a philosopher and educational reformer. The family's friends and neighbors included the writers Ralph Waldo Emerson, Margaret Fuller, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Henry David Thoreau. William Ellery Channing, a prominent Unitarian minister, was also a friend. All these people influenced Alcott and helped form her ideas about politics and social reform. Alcott spent most of her childhood in poverty because her father invested in many idealistic projects that failed. At an early age, she began to help support the family by working as a seamstress, a household servant, and a teacher. Her first book, Flower Fables (1854) consisted of fairy stories she made up to tell one of her students.

The "Frances Hodgson Burnett: Beyond the Secret Garden Conference" is attracting participants from England, Ireland, Japan and many parts of the United States. Frances Hodgson Burnett is renowned for her classic children's books "The Secret Garden," "Little Lord Fauntleroy" and "A Little Princess." The fact that most of her more than 60 best-selling novels were written for adults is not so well known. These books, with subjects like working women, single motherhood, abusive marriages and the interaction of cultures, are sparking new, international interest.

    Extractions: @import url(http://goblinhead.com/booklist/booklist.css); Heather's Book List What I'm reading this year... Waiting for the Party: The Life of Frances Hodgson Burnett 1849-1924 Burnett, Frances Hodgson / Thwaite, Ann (Author) Read April 07, 2003 “[in response to an obituary where Frances Hodgson Burnett’s work was considered to have “given pleasure”] - the phrase would have delighted Frances. “With the best in me,” she had written to [her youngest son], “I have tried to write more happiness into the world.” She had seldom failed to give pleasure with her writing. In her life, of course, it was different. Things did not always turn out the way she wanted them to. People cannot be manipulated like characters in a story.” Before I read this book, I knew almost nothing about the author that wrote two of my most beloved books, A Little Princess , and The Secret Garden . I wasn’t even sure if Frances had been a woman or a man. This book shed an incredible amount of light onto the life of an insanely prolific and popular writer, who knew both fame and fortune in her own lifetime. Frances seemed to obsess about the details of lifestyle, social standing, money, and surroundings, most of all. She was a short, plump, passionate woman, with a warm smile that could light up a room. I think maybe she preferred her fantasy worlds to the real worlds that she spun around in. It was interesting to read that she had no particular religious beliefs, and while she believed firmly in guidance from beyond one’s own self, and in some sort of ethereal afterlife, she believed just as firmly that there were no devils, no hell, but the ones that we created here on earth. She was easily flattered, and loved to play the part of “Lady Bountiful”. All in all, a product of her time, and more amazingly, of her own making, and a force of nature that changed the world by having been in it. This book was well worth the time it took to read about this amazing woman.

    Extractions: "This adaptation has its own special appeal. Although considerably shorter than the original, it remains faithful to the plot. Allen's oversize chalk drawings are handsome. Children sometimes pass over Burnett's story because by the time they are able to read it, they are no longer interested in the subject. For them, this adaptation will work well." Booklist.

    Extractions: Frances Hodgson Burnett’s The Secret Garden SUSAN E. JAMES English children’s author, Frances Hodgson Burnett, was two years old when Emily Brontë’s novel, Wuthering Heights , was published in 1847, shocking critics, the public and her sister, Charlotte. In 1910, sixty-three years after the book’s publication, Burnett published a story for children, entitled, The Secret Garden . A detailed examination of this work seems to demonstrate in its text a close reading of Wuthering Heights and certain similarities between the two books, particularly in the characters and their relationships with each other, indicate that Burnett may indeed have been influenced by the earlier work. The fact that she was writing for children necessitated for her a softening of Brontë’s sterner fictional imperatives and led Burnett to the image of the hidden garden as a sanctuary protected from the grimmer grandeur of Brontë’s Yorkshire moors. Burnett, herself, seems to point to a connection between the two books through an insistence in her text on the verbal link word “wuthering.”

    Extractions: Lewis Carroll, as he is better known, was born in Daresbury, near Warrington, Lancashire, and was educated at a private school in Richmond, Yorkshire, before going on to Rugby School in 1846 and Christ Church, Oxford, in 1851. And there he remained, as a Fellow of the College. His first book for children, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland , appeared in 1865. It was devised to amuse the daughter of the dean of his college. It portrays Alice as a no-nonsense, confident little girl, possessed of considerable common sense, caught up in entirely fantastic - today we might say surreal - adventures. Its sequel, Alice Through the Looking Glass , was published in 1871.

She wrote for adults as well as children. Her best known children's books are Little Lord Fauntleroy (1886) and The Secret Garden The eponymous hero of Little Lord Fauntleroy is portrayed as open, loyal, trusting and courageous. He has a keen sense of fair play and is alert to the needs of the disadvantaged. In the book he unwittingly converts his self-centred and miserly grandfather - an Earl - into a compassionate landlord.
