Synopsis "Theo"

Theo is a short novelette about an impressionable and quite beautiful young girl of 16 who falls in love with an intelligent young man named Denis. Theo's enchanting beauty and Denis' intelligent and methodical, yet very pleasant character makes the two ideally suited for each other. Readers will quickly be able to tell just how easy the decision to stay together should be, at least under normal circumstances. The romance shared by Theo and Denis, however, starts out on a difficult path, as he is engaged to be married, and she does not want to intrude on his. Between strong emotions and an even stronger conviction to do the right thing, Burnett showers us with beautiful descriptions, interesting twists and an overall well-paced plot line that will make it quite difficult to even put the book down for a short pause.

Frances H. Burnett (1849, Manchester, England - 1924, Plandome, United States) lost her father when she was just five years old. The family had to endure economic hardships and in 1865 moved to the United States. Eight years later Frances got married, but she had already managed to publish in some American magazines like Godey’s Lady’s Book, Godey’s, Peterson’s Ladies’ Magazine, Scribner’s Monthly, and Harper’s. She was 28 years old when That Lass O’ Lowrie’s (1877), her first novel, appeared. However, it was Little Lord Fauntleroy (1886) that contributed the most to her popularity during her lifetime. It was aimed, along with Sara Crewe (1888) and The Secret Garden (1911), at the young reader. The latter is considered her most valuable contribution.
