Centenario Frances Hodgson Burnett (1924-2024)

El jardín secreto es uno de los clásicos más populares de la literatura infantil de todos los tiempos, y a cien años de la muerte de su autora no ha perdido un ápice de su encanto. Cuenta la historia de Mary Lennox, una niña de clase alta en el Raj británico que queda huérfana y a cargo de su tío, el huraño y jorobado Archibald Craven. Tras mudarse a su mansión en el norte de Inglaterra, a la que rodea un inmenso páramo, Mary descubrirá la felicidad de las cosas sencillas, el poder del afecto y la bondad sinceros, la belleza que florece aun en medio del abandono, y la magia que, aunque está en todas las cosas, requiere perspicacia para atraparla.

Frances Hodgson Burnett (Manchester, 1849-New York, 1924) es la autora, un tanto en sombra, de tres celebrados clásicos infantiles reeditados y traducidos a numerosas lenguas durante más de un siglo y llevados repetidamente al cine y la televisión: El pequeño lord (1885), La princesita (1905) y El jardín secreto (1910).
En El pequeño lord, la autora, inglesa emigrada a Norteamérica y de una familia venida a menos por la muerte del padre, nos cuenta la historia de Cedric, un pequeño huérfano neoyorquino que viaja a Inglaterra tras descubrirse que es el único nieto de un viejo aristócrata inglés que lleva un vida solitaria en un imponente castillo, desengañado ya de todo. El reto del siempre natural y animoso Cedric será conquistar el endurecido corazón del anciano. El del abuelo, que creía no esperar ya nada de la vida, el no menos difícil reto de sentir cariño de nuevo, de dejarse conquistar.
