A Little Princess - Hardcover

by Frances Hodgson Burnett (Author)

When Sara Crewe's father dies, her privileged status at an English boarding school comes to an abrupt end. The former favorite finds herself penniless and at the mercy of a vindictive headmistress -- but still manages to maintain her kind nature and optimistic outlook. This Victorian-era tale's message of making the best of misfortunes through imagination and generosity remains a source of inspiration and enchantment.
