A Little Princess
by Frances Hodgson Burnett
A young girl, all but a princess in both wealth and the pureness of her heart, is orphaned while at boarding school and yet even in her darkest hours never ceases in her kindness to others or her hope in the goodness of life. This is the heroine of Frances Hodgson Burnett s classic story A Little Princess, first published in novel form in 1905. Sarah Crewe s is faced with the worst tragedy that can befall an 11-year-old, yet she rises to every instance of hardship with a gracious sweetness from which readers young and old alike can learn.
