关于此有声读物

The Making of a Marchioness is Frances Hodgson Burnett’s delightful take on the Cinderella story. Born into an aristocratic family, Emily Fox-Seton is left penniless and must fend for herself after the death of her parents. Then one summer, everything changes. This audio edition is read by Lucy Scott.

Emily rents a room in a boarding house in London where she makes a modest living as an assistant to aristocratic ladies. One summer, Lady Maria Bayne asks Emily to her country estate and it’s there that Emily receives a very surprising offer of marriage from a wealthy widower in need of a wife. But Emily’s new life is not without its own obstacles and challenges.

The Making of a Marchioness is part of the Persephone Audiobook Collection, a series of forgotten classics including neglected fiction and non-fiction by women writers. First published in 1901, this edition includes a preface by Isabel Raphael and an afterword by Gretchen Gerzina.

作者简介

Born in 1849, Frances Hodgson Burnett began her writing career in her teens to support her family when they migrated to America. In the mid-1880s, she became well-known for her children's literature after the publication of Little Lord Fauntleroy, later followed by A Little Princess and The Secret Garden. As well as writing romance novels, she adapted some of her work for the stage. Burnett eventually settled in New York, where she died in 1924. A sculpture commemorating her was erected in Central Park.
