Burt's first novel
which had been serialized in Scribner's. The book already showed her talent to portray realistic working-class scenes
mixed with a romantic and most improvable plot. Later on
she had other novels published
like Haworth's (1879)
Louisiana (1880)
A Fair Barbarian (1881)
and Through One Administration (1883)
as well as a play
E *** eralda (1881). But all these books were not to be her most successful work. In 1886
she published Little Lord Fauntleroy
a children's book which fascinated mothers

later rewritten as A Little Princess for drama
and her marvelous Secret Garden (1909). Both were children's books
and thanks to them

written with William Gillette. In 1886 she published Little Lord Fauntleroy. It was originally intended as a children's book
but had a great appeal to mothers. It created a fashion of long curls (based on her son Vivian's) and velvet suits with lace collars (based on Oscar Wilde's attire).

Burt delved into spirituali *** and apparently found this a great fort in dealing with her grief (she had previously dabbled in Theosophy
and some of its concepts are worked into The Secret Garden
where a crippled boy thinks he can heal himself through positive thinking and affirmations). During World War I
Burt put her beliefs about what happens after death into writing with her novella The White People. Frances Hodgson Burt died in Plandome
New York and is buried in Roslyn Cemetery nearby
next to her son Vivian. A life-size effigy of Lionel stands at their feet.
