If nature has made you a giver, your hands are born open, and so is your heart. And though there may be times when your hands are empty, your heart is always full, and you can give things out of that.
Biography
What life experiences allowed this woman to write about lords and ladies with the same familiarity as the working class?
Burnett was born in 1849 in Manchester, England. She began writing as a teenager to help support her family. Although you may not recognize her name now, during her life time she was as well-known as authors today, such as J. K. Rowling.
"With the best that I have in me, I have tried to write more happiness into the world"
— Frances Hodgson Burnett
The rags-to-riches themes of her stories echo her own rise from impoverished beginnings to international authoress. She was criticized in the press for being "scandalous," but then so was the dance craze, the turkey trot. Her flamboyant Victorian era clothing, her divorce, her many travels, and her literary circle of friends and their parties made her a popular subject. However, she never forgot the hardships of her childhood and was generous in funding various projects, particularly those involving children. She was a trend setter in her day, breaking new ground for other writers by fighting for copyright laws—both in the U.S. and in Great Britain.

A documentary dedicated to Frances Hodgson Burnett will tell the story of the life of a famous writer.
The film will be created using autobiography, letters and biographies about the writer. Burnet will tell her story to herself. I sow a similar example in the documentary "I, Claude Monet". The voice of Burnet will give oppotunity to penetration into her story, the ability to understand her experiences, to better understand her thoughts and inner world.

Burnet lived an interesting, rich and difficult life, but despite all the difficulties, she still retained the kindness and faith in the miracles that we can feel in her books.
This film will be a great gift to all fans of Burnett's books, and will also be a revelation for those who are not yet familiar with her work.
For me, the creation of this film is a tribute to my beloved writer, on whose books I grew up. But even when I became an adult, I feel connected with Burnett, because inspired by her work I also became a writer of books for children.
And I was always interested to know her closer. What kind of person she was, how her fate developed and what life circumstances made her the person who gave the world so many touching stories in which, despite all life's hardships, the characters are filled with optimism, strength and faith in the best.
