A Little Princess
Overview & Summary
Sara Crewe is the pampered, wealthy star pupil at her London boarding school until news arrives that her father has died penniless, and the school's cruel headmistress forces Sara into servitude in the attic. Despite her fall from privilege, Sara clings to her imagination and inner sense of dignity, insisting she is "a princess" no matter her circumstances -- a resilience that is eventually rewarded. Frances Hodgson Burnett's 1905 novel is a beloved classic about maintaining grace and kindness through hardship.
