Written by British-born author Frances Hodgson Burnett and first published in 1905, A Little Princess tells the story of young Sara Crewe, affluent daughter of a diamond merchant who was brought from India to London by her doting father to join Miss Minchin’s school. While at first her life of privilege continues as she is treated like a princess, the tragic death of her father and failure of his business change everything. Faced with the worst tragedy that can befall an 11-year-old, descends into poverty and is forced to work as an ordinary servant, she needs all her audacity and imagination to remain a princess at heart. She rises above hardship with such grace which inspires all readers young and old alike.
This timeless tale of a poor orphan has won children’s hearts for a century-and continues to be a favourite. This is one of the best-loved stories in all of the children’s literature.
