A Little Princess
Sara Crewe arrives at Miss Minchin’s London boarding school as a pampered, imaginative girl whose wealthy father can deny her nothing. When he dies and his fortune vanishes, the headmistress strips away every kindness and sends Sara to labor as a servant, cold and half starved in a bare attic. What sustains her is the private conviction that a real princess stays generous and brave no matter how she is treated. Frances Hodgson Burnett turns a simple reversal of fortune into a warm, enduring story about dignity, imagination, and quiet resilience. Expanded from an earlier tale and published in full in 1905, it remains a beloved children’s classic. Read it free as a PDF and EPUB edition.
