At nineteen she began writing to supplement her widowed mother's income. She drove herself to write to such an extent that later, she would refer to herself as "a pen-driving machine". With the publication of Little Lord Fauntleroy her fame spread across America, England and even into Europe. Burnett became one of the highest-paid writers of her time, with extravagant tastes in clothes and decorating. She was, according to her biographer Gretchen Gerzina, "the model of the 'new woman, ' self-supporting, independent and a shrewd businesswoman," all in addition to being the mother of two boys. She found inspiration for her novels in her experience writing to support her family, in her children, and in later years in the restorative power of her garden. She is now remembered for these three children's novels: The Secret Garden, A Little Princess, and Little Lord Fauntleroy.
