Publisher Description
An Apple Books Classics edition.
Sarah Crewe is a firm believer that character, not money, makes one a princess. Either way, the kind-hearted girl is in luck: while her wealthy father serves with the British army in India, she’s sent to Miss Minchin’s elite boarding school in London. But when Sarah’s father passes away, the money runs dry and the headmistress makes Sarah’s life miserable, forcing her to sleep in a freezing attic and work long hours.
What will happen to the little princess now that she has no one to care for her? With its empathic heroine, this magical tale of lost-and-found fortune has enchanted and inspired readers since 1905.

A wonderful tale of resolute endurance, vivid imagination and earnest kindness
This story of Sara Crewe is powerful and moving and intriguing in a sense, for Frances Hodgson Burnett succeeded to create an honest, admirable and relatable main character with beautiful prose usually found in works of Montgomery or du Mourier. From there, the cogent messages of this novel are spread to generations of readers: children will be thrilled by the story progress and adults will find subtler meanings gently concealed in different places.
