The action of the romantic novels by Frances Burnett (1849-1924) "The Charming Savage" and "Mr. Luck" takes place in the good old England of the XIX century. They have everything that we love Victorian literature so much for – traditional conversations in the living room, subtle English humor, wonderful stories about the union of lovers' hearts... Burnett herself, the creator of the famous sentimental novels "The Little Princess", "The Mysterious Garden" and "Little Lord Fauntleroy", liked to repeat that she had two homelands – England and the United States of America. Therefore, the heroes of her works often became free and liberated Americans who come to the British Isles and turn the prim English traditions upside down. But at the same time they certainly find their way to happiness there…The works are published in Russian for the first time.
