About this audiobook
This edition includes the following editor's introduction: Frances Hodgson Burnett, life of one of the most famous and notorious writers and women of her time
Originally published in 1922, “The Head of the House of Coombe” is a novel by American writer Frances Hodgson Burnett, best known as the author of the masterpiece “The Secret Garden” (1911).
“The Head of the House of Coombe” follows the relationships between a group of pre–World War One English nobles and commoners. It also offers both some interesting editorial commentary on the political system in prewar Europe that Burnett feels bears some responsibility for the war and some surprisingly pointed social commentary.
Burnett wrote a 1922 sequel to “The Head of the House of Coombe”, “Robin.” These were the last books Burnett wrote.
