The novel wa  written by Frances Hodgson Burnett，who was born in Cheetham, England. After her father’s death in 1852, the family fell on straitened circumstances and in 1865 immigrated to the United States, settling near Knoxville, Tennessee. There Frances began writing to help earn money for the family, publishing stories in magazines from the age of 19. She was famous for her children’s fiction. For a year Frances went to a small school run by two women, where she first saw a book about fairies. When her mother moved the family to Salford, Frances mourned the lack of flowers and gardens. Their home was located in Islington Square, adjacent to an area with severe overcrowding and poverty, , described as defied description.Under such terrible circumstance ,the most valuable treasure to Frances is reading and her rich imagination and I hold the view that this is why A Little Princess is full of inspiring and romantic plots.
