Magic and Grace in Every Page of A Little Princess
Sara Crewe's vast imagination and unfailing kindness turn hardships into adventures. Miss Minchin's cruelty can't dim Sara's heart; her pretend royalty becomes real when she's discovered to be an heir to a fortune, transforming her life and that of those around her.
A Little Princess was originally serialized in the magazine St. Nicholas before being published as a book.
Sara Crewe, the protagonist of A Little Princess, was inspired by a real-life incident that author Frances Hodgson Burnett heard about—a young girl left at boarding school when her father's business failed.
