Frances Hodgson Burnett

Frances Hodgson Burnett <p>Née en 1849 en Angleterre, Frances Hodgson Burnett perdit son père quand elle avait quatre ans et connut alors la misère, jusqu'à l'émigration de sa famille en Amérique. Ces éléments sont très présents dans la quarantaine de romans qu'elle écrira au cours de sa vie (<em>Une petite Princesse, Le jardin secret, Le petit Lord Fauntleroy</em>) où fortune et misère modèlent les destins, où s'affrontent la modernité américaine et l'archaïsme de l'Angleterre.</p>

"When anyone meets us," Meg said, "they always look surprised. Dogs which are not allowed in the house are like us. The only difference is that they don't drive us out—but we are just as much in the way." ‘Two little Pilgrims’ Progress’ is the story of orphaned twins, Meg and Robin, left to the care of their Aunt Matilda, who doesn’t take much notice of them. Meg sleeps in a cold servant’s room, while Robin shares a room with someone else. All the two kids have in the world are each other and their dreams. Meg dreams of running away to "The City Beautiful" – Chicago – for the single reason that it is "millions of miles" away from Aunt Matilda's barn. She convinces her brother to run away with her, and through the eyes of the adventurous children, the reader gets to experience a truly magnificent moment in history; the Chicago World's Fair in the late 1890s.
