Description:

A timeless classic by Frances Hodgson Burnett, an Anglo-American playwright and the author of famous children’s books, such as “The Secret Garden”, and “Little Lord Fauntleroy”. “A Little Princess”, as the title suggests, is a story of a young girl, a gifted and well-mannered child Sara Crewe, who comes to live in a girls' seminary in London. When her father dies, she finds herself impoverished and at the mercy of a cruel headmistress. The wonderful imagination, wit, and courage of the girl help her to go through the sad times of her life. A tale of grace and generosity, it will move the readers of all ages.
