Synopsis

A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a children’s novel first published in 1905. The story follows Sara Crewe, who arrives at a London boarding school as a privileged student and quickly earns affection through her imagination and kindness. Her circumstances change when her fortune is taken away, leaving her to face hunger and difficult work instead of comfort. As she is mistreated by the headmistress and her endurance is tested, Sara holds onto a core idea: real nobility is defined by character rather than wealth. The novel is also shaped by an enigmatic neighbor who remains close by.
