A Little Princess
Author(s): Frances Hodgson Burnett
When Sara Crewe, the seven-year-old daughter of a rich and loving father, arrives at her new school in London from India, she is nicknamed the Little Princess by her classmates. She has all the comfort and fine things she could want, but she also reveals a kind and loving heart, a lively mind and a rich imagination. When her father dies, bankrupt, Sara is suddenly reduced to a life of poverty and is forced to live in a cold, damp attic, with only her dreams to support her. But will they be enough? This classic tale was first published in 1905, and has become a classic. The story has been continued by author Hilary McKay in Wishing for Tomorrow.
