From the author of The Secret Garden, Frances Hodgson Burnett, comes another beloved children’s classic – now in its original edition with authentic illustrations, a fun character quiz, and more!
At seven years old, Sara Crewe has it all. A loving father, a substantial fortune, and everyone’s love and adoration. Intelligent, imaginative, and kind, Sara sees through flattery and remains unspoiled. So when her father, a widower stationed in India, decides to send her to an all-girls boarding school back in England, Sara is excited to set off on her little adventure. A new life awaits her at the prestigious Miss Minchin’s Seminary for Young Ladies, where everyone treats her as a little princess and wants to be her friend.
The proud headmistress, Miss Minchin is all too glad to accept Captain Crewe’s generous contributions to ensure special privileges and extravagant indulgences like a private room with a personal maid and a separate sitting parlor just for Sara. But not everything that glitters is gold…
Though Miss Minchin openly flatters Sara due to her wealth, she secretly harbors jealousy and dislike towards her. And when Sara’s life turns upside down after the tragic loss of her father, she’s left penniless and desperate to discover Miss Minchin’s true nature. After spending her life showered in love and affection, gifts, and luxury, can Sara learn to survive in a place where everyone treats her like a servant?
Discover additional features in this special edition: 12 original illustrations by the master of the golden age of American illustration, Ethel Franklin Betts. An exciting quiz about Sara and her friends to complete after reading. A brand new cover for your collection of classics. Easy-to-read formatting and fonts suitable for both children and adults.
Considered ‘one of the best classic novels for young boys and girls of all time’, A Little Princess is the perfect read for book lovers, fans of The Secret Garden, and timeless children’s classics!
