This edition includes the following editor's analysis:
Frances Hodgson Burnett, life of one of the most famous and notorious writers and women of her time.
The Life of Robin: "The Head of the House of Coombe," one of Frances Hodgson Burnett's masterpieces.
Originally published in 1922, “Robin” is the second volume of Frances Hodgson Burnett's last substantial work, and follows on from “The Head of the House of Coombe” (1922).
Set in London during the First World War, “Robin” portrays the horror, rather than nobility or glamour, of that devastating period and completes the story of Robin, Lord Coombe, Donal and Feather.
Although best known for “Little Lord Fauntleroy” and “The Secret Garden,” Burnett was considered one of the leading writers in America on the strength of her adult novels, which made her name in the 1870s and 1880s.
