Frances Hodgson Burnett was born in England, but her family moved to Tennessee when she was five. Her battle over the dramatic rights for her first book, "Little Lord Fauntleroy" - the main character of which was based on her son Vivian - set a precedent for British copyright law. In 1905, she published a rewrite of her novel "Sara Crewe" under the title "A Little Princess," followed four years later by "The Secret Garden." She died in New York in 1924, and is buried next to Vivian.
