When the kind and imaginative seven-year-old Sara Crewe reaches Miss Minchins Select Seminary for Young Ladies with her papa, she doesnt quite like it. I dont like it, papa, she said. But then I dare say soldierseven brave ones dont really like going into battle. The apple of her fathers eye, Sara has all the privileges at the seminary and is treated with special care. Soon enough, she befriends her classmates and is nicknamed a princess, which she often pretends to be. But just after her eleventh birthday, when the news of her fathers death arrives, everything changes. Will Sara Crewe's imagination help her cope up with the loss and hardships? One of the all-time childrens novels, Frances Hodgson Burnetts A Little Princess is a remarkable story.
