Frances Burnett
A Little Princess, first published in 1905, is a beloved classic. If you are not familiar with the imaginative ''little princess'' Sara Crewe, daughter of a wealthy diamond merchant, who comes to live at Miss Minchin's Select Seminary for Young Ladies in London during Victorian times, you are in for a wonderful treat.
Miss Minchin is a bleak, formidable woman who cares only for Sara's riches and the status she brings the school. When Sara's adored father dies, she goes from riches to rags overnight. Stripped of her fine clothes, lessons, and former life of privilege and ease, Sara is forced to be a servant and live in the attic with Becky, the scullery maid, whom Sara has already kindly befriended.
Life becomes cruel and hard, but Sara keeps her courage, dignity, and the power of her imagination through the most terrible of times. She never forgets she is a true ''princess'' or that magic is possible.
