T. Tembarom

Overview

T. Tembarom, a New York street waif, who has struggled and smiled his way to a precarious success on a cheap newspaper, suddenly awakes to find himself Temple Temple Barholm, master of the ancient manor of Temple Barholm in Yorkshire, with all its resulting complications, amusing and otherwise. His fine sincerity and engaging personality and the timely appearance of a lost heir "to the manor born," save the situation. A charmingly demure English girl supplies the love interest.

About the Author

Frances Eliza Hodgson Burnett (24 November 1849 - 29 October 1924) was a British-American novelist and playwright. She is best known for the three children's novels Little Lord Fauntleroy (published in 1885-1886), A Little Princess (1905), and The Secret Garden (1911).

Frances Eliza Hodgson was born in Cheetham, Manchester, England. After her father died in 1852, the family fell on straitened circumstances and in 1865 emigrated to the United States, settling near Knoxville, Tennessee. There Frances began writing to help earn money for the family, publishing stories in magazines from the age of 19. In 1870, her mother died, and in 1872 Frances married Swan Burnett, who became a medical doctor.
