A Little Princess

"But I suppose there might be good in things, even if we don't see it." Sara Crewe is just seven years old when she arrives at Miss Minchin's school in London, full of stories and imagination. For a time, she is treated like a little princess, admired for her charm and cleverness. But when tragedy strikes and she loses her father, Sara's tunes collapse overnight. Reduced to rags and sent to work in the very school where she once held a place of honour, Sara refuses to let her spirit be crushed. Instead, she turns to her fierce imagination and sense of justice to face each day. A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a story about the strength that can live inside a child, the power of kindness to shift even the coldest hearts, and the belief that one's character-not wealth-makes a true princess.
