About the book

"Emily Fox-Seton: being The making of a marchioness and The methods of Lady Walderhurst" by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a novel published in 1901. Emily Fox-Seton, a penniless woman of good birth, works as a lady's companion in London. In a Cinderella-like turn, she marries a wealthy marquess twenty years her senior. But when Emily bears his child, his former heir seeks to reclaim what he believes is rightfully his, transforming her fairy tale into something darker.
