"I pretend I am a princess, so that

I can try and behave like one.”

When the kind and imaginative seven-year-old Sara Crewe reaches Miss Minchin’s Select Seminary for Young Ladies with her papa, she doesn’t quite like it.

“I don’t like it, papa,” she said. “But then

I dare say soldiers—even brave ones—

don’t really like going into battle.”

The apple of her father’s 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 father’s death arrives, everything changes.

Will Sara Crewe's imagination help her

cope up with the loss and hardships?

One of the all-time children’s novels, Frances Hodgson Burnett’s A Little Princess is a remarkable story. It has been adapted for films, theatre, musicals, and television, and continues to remain popular more than a century after its publication.

Review:

"A little princess is not just a children's fantasy tale, instead it is also a story of love, friendship and morals.

It is a story of Sara, a motherless child who is raised by her father. She moves to London for her education, and everyone in her school calls her a Princess because in every way she is one. Her father is very rich and she practically has everything. However, things turn upside down when her father die suddenly and she becomes an orphan.

Now, without a penny to her name she is forced to do chores for others and live in a lonely creepy attic.

What is wonderful is the way Sara's character has been developed. In either scenarion, when she is rich and poor, she doesn't stop helping others. And doesn't stop dreaming.

It is a beautiful story of love and life. and i cherished reading it."

Hope you enjoy reading it.

Lots of Love
