The One I Knew Best Of All - A Memory of the Mind of A Child Frances Hodgson Burnett

 Copyright 1893 Charles Scribner's Sons

"I should feel a serious delicacy in presenting to the world a sketch so autobiographical as this if I did not feel myself absolved from any charge of the bad taste of personality by the fact that I believe I might fairly entitle it 'The Story of Any Child with an imagination.'" - Frances Hodgson Burnett - May 1892

Frances Eliza Hodgson Burnett (24 November 1849 – 29 October 1924) was an English playwright and author. She is best known for her children's stories, in particular The Secret Garden (winner of the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award in 1959), A Little Princess, and Little Lord Fauntleroy.
Publication of Little Lord Fauntleroy in 1886 made her a popular writer of children's fiction, although her romantic adult novels written in the 1890s were also popular. She wrote and helped to produce stage versions of Little Lord Fauntleroy and The Little Princess.

Illustrated with the sketches of Reginald B. Birch.

Reginald Bathurst Birch (May 2, 1856 – June 17, 1943) was an English-American artist and illustrator. He was best known for his depiction of the titular hero of Frances Hodgson Burnett's 1886 novel Little Lord Fauntleroy, which started a craze in juvenile fashion. While his illustrative corpus has eclipsed his other work, he was also an accomplished painter of portraits and landscapes.

 

 

 Condition: very good to fine. The gilt decorated spine and front board are brighter than can be scanned - there is minor shelf wear and a little mildew at bottom and right edge.

There are no marks of any kind to the text or the 30 sketches
