Cuando Mary Lennox se fue a vivir con su tío a Misselthwaite Manor, todos decían que era una niña de aspecto muy desagradable; y era cierto. En su cara delgada se reflejaba una expresión amarga. Su cuerpo era flaco y pequeño; su pelo, de color amarillo, era fino y escaso; su rostro era también pálido, quizás porque había nacido en la India, en donde, por una razón u otra, enfermaba continuamente. Su padre había sido empleado del gobierno inglés y sus obligaciones eran innumerables. Su madre, una mujer de gran belleza, sólo se preocupaba de asistir a las más alegres fiestas. Ella no quería tener una niña; por eso, cuando Mary nació, la entregó al cuidado de una aya a quien dio a entender que, para servir bien a la Mem Sahib debía mantenerla alejada de su presencia. Así, esta niña irritable, débil y feúcha estuvo siempre lejos de su madre. Ella sólo recordaba haber visto a su alrededor las caras morenas de su aya y de los demás sirvientes hindúes. Estos, para que no llorara o molestara a la Mem Sahib, la obedecían y le daban gusto en todo. De esta manera, al cumplir los seis años, Mary se había convertido en un ser tiránico y egoísta. La joven institutriz inglesa contratada para enseñarle a leer y escribir le tomó tal antipatía que a los tres meses dejó su trabajo. Otro tanto ocurrió con las institutrices que la sucedieron, y si a Mary no le hubiera interesado verdaderamente saber lo que contenían los libros, ni siquiera habría aprendido a leer. Tenía casi nueve años cuando una mañana de intenso calor la niña despertó muy malhumorada. Se enfadó aún más al ver a su lado a una sirvienta que no era su aya.

Ten-year-old orphan Mary Lennox comes to live in a lonely house on the Yorkshire moors and discovers an invalid cousin and the mysteries of a locked garden.

Frances Hodgson Burnett wrote a book titled Little Lord Fauntleroy. From November 1885 to October 1886, it was published as a serial in St. Nicholas Magazine. In 1886, Scribner's (St. Nicholas' publisher) published it as a book. When Burnett prevailed in a legal battle against E. V. Seebohm in 1888 for the rights to stage adaptations of the work, the novel established a precedent in copyright law, setting fashion trends with the illustrations by Reginald B. Birch. The Anglo-French surname Fauntleroy, which conveys the idea of being spoiled and pampered, is ultimately derived from Le enfant le Roy ("child of the king"). It is derived more closely from the Middle English version of defect from infant, which means child or infant. As a legitimate surname, it has been used since the 13th century. The Earl intended to impart aristocratic values to his grandson. Cedric instructs his grandfather instead on the virtue of having compassion for others who are reliant upon him. The Earl matures into the person Cedric had always mistakenly assumed him to be. Cedric is delighted to be reunited with his mother and Mr. Hobbs, who chooses to remain to assist in caring for Cedric.
