Bøger af Frances Hodgson Burnett

When the rather genteel and very English village of Slowbridge, whose social life revolves around its extremely conservative and aristocratic female matriarch, finds itself playing host to mills within its vicinity it seems a disaster. Mills mean smoke and dirt and coarse working people, rather prone to mob violence as well as foul language.As if that was not enough the niece of a respected inhabitant - a young American girl of all things - suddenly descends on the village, and in doing so provides a second shock to its system.A wonderful read, full of humour, from the pen of a writer, born in Lancashire, who honed her craft in the USA.Published in support of the Working Class Movement Library, 51 The Crescent, Salford, M5 4WX.

FULLY ILLUSTRATED. The One I Knew the Best of All traces the early life of Frances Hodgson Burnett. In it she relates her earliest memories as a child in a North Manchester middle-class home and, following her father's death, in Salford. Although a well-behaved little girl she relates her fascination with "back street" children and their language - the Lancashire dialect - which she sets out to learn. At the same time she provides a vivid description of the differences in the lives of those who laboured to produce Lancashire's wealth and those who took possession of it. Finally she deals with the American Civil War - the consequent Lancashire Cotton Famine - its devastating effects - her family's impoverishment and subsequent flight across the Atlantic. Here, in Tennessee, they make a new life, and Frances is forced to examine ways they can make a living. A brilliant, entertaining and thought provoking read. Published in support of The Working Class Movement Library, Salford, M5 4WX.

In telling a tale of Lancashire life Frances Hodgson was on familiar ground. Brought up in the world's first industrial city she would have been all too aware of the lot of working women - whether they toiled in the coal pit or a spinning mill.However, she did not begin to write until the family migrated to America following her father's death and their subsequent fall into poverty as a result of the Lancashire Cotton Famine caused by the American Civil War. Here she married Swan Burnet in 1872.That Lass O' Lowrie's was her first novel, but by no means her worst. A dark portrait of pit village life and yet a joyous and uplifting read.Published to raise funds for the Working Class Movement Library, Salford, M5 4WX.
