Escrito por Frances Hodgson Burnett
Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924) creció en Inglaterra, pero comenzó a escribir lo que se convertiría en El jardín secreto en 1909, cuando construía un jardín para una nueva casa en Long Island, Nueva York. Frances siempre fue una narradora nata. Ya de niña, su mayor placer era inventar historias y representarlas con sus muñecas como personajes. A lo largo de su vida escribió más de cuarenta libros.
