Frances Hodgson Burnett
Frances Hodgson Burnett, née en **1849** à Manchester et décédée en **1924**, est une romancière et dramaturge britannique naturalisée américaine. Connue pour ses œuvres majeures comme *The Secret Garden* et *A Little Princess*, elle a marqué la littérature jeunesse par son talent à mêler réalisme et fantastique. Son enfance difficile et son exil aux États-Unis ont profondément influencé son écriture, souvent centrée sur des **héroïnes enfantines** confrontées à des épreuves transformatrices. *In the Closed Room* illustre son style unique, où la délicatesse des émotions côtoie une touche de mystère surnaturel.
