Book description
A much-loved classic with timeless appeal. 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 is the original
text of this classic story. Born in England in 1849, Frances Hodgson
Burnett was a playwrite and author, best known for the enduring
children's classics, The Secret Garden, A Little Princess, and Little
Lord Fauntleroy. She died in 1924 in America, where she spent the latter
part of her life.
