Publisher's Synopsis
'A Little Princess' is one of Frances Hodgson Burnett's most well-loved and critically acclaimed novels. It is a revised (and improved) version of an earlier book she wrote entitled 'Sara Crewe: or, What Happened at Miss Minchin's Boarding School'. When Sara's father dies, she is forced to work as a servant in the boarding school where she was originally a pupil, under the harsh supervision of its cruel headmistress, and has only her imagination as protection against her hostile and dreary surroundings. Using her own creativity and strength of will she becomes a calm and self-confident 'princess'...in one of the all-time great stories of triumph over adversity.
