Summary

Frances Hodgson Burnett'Äôs intertwined tales, "The Secret Garden" and "A Little Princess," exemplify her mastery of children's literature, combining rich imagery with poignant themes of growth, resilience, and the transformative power of nature. In "The Secret Garden," Burnett skillfully weaves a narrative about healing and friendship, set against the backdrop of a hidden garden that symbolizes renewal. Likewise, "A Little Princess" explores class disparity and the strength of imagination through the trials of Sara Crewe, showcasing Burnett's ability to blend realism with elements of fantasy. Her lyrical prose invites readers into a vibrant world, allowing young audiences to confront and reflect on the complexities of human emotion and social conditions. Frances Hodgson Burnett, an influential figure in late 19th and early 20th-century literature, drew upon her own childhood experiences, often marked by loss and hardship, to create narratives that resonate deeply with her readers. Having faced personal struggles during her early life in England and later in America, Burnett's novels encapsulate themes of hope and the fundamental need for friendship and understanding, reflecting her belief in the healing power of love and nature. Readers seeking an immersive journey into the realms of childhood joy and sorrow will find both "The Secret Garden" and "A Little Princess" essential. These works not only inspire introspection but also empower readers to believe in the possibility of transformation and resilience, making them timeless classics that continue to captivate new generations.

    Once upon a time and with surprising frequency, dragons kidnapped helpless princesses. As the ultimate romantic gesture, heroic princes fought the dragons and saved the damsels in distress. 
At least, that's the story you've been led to believe. But here's a little secret: 
Sometimes the dragon saved the princess from the princes… 
In the kingdom of Marshwood, everybody lives happily ever after – orphans, stepmothers, everybody. King Wesick is wise and beloved. Queen Mattea is beautiful and kind. Prince Nolan is handsome and brave, and his sister Littagale is smart and talented. But when it comes time for Princess Littagale to marry, suddenly the dragon Tor flies down from Mount Shadow, kidnaps the princess, and flies her to his dark lair. 
"Oh, no! The horror! Who will save her?" cry the townspeople. 
With great fanfare and the cologne of testosterone, princes from near and far arrive in Marshwood and vow to rescue the princess – in exchange for the honor of becoming her husband and inheriting the kingdom. The townspeople rejoice, place bets, and everyone waits to see who will defeat Tor and save Princess Littagale. 
But what secret is Queen Mattea hiding? And why does Tor have a spa in his lair?
