A Little Princess

A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett, first published as a book in 1905, is regarded among the major works of Victorian literature. It tells the story of Sara Crewe, a brilliant and imaginative student at a Select Seminary for Young Ladies. When her father dies, Sara becomes a pauper, forced to live in the attic and work as a servant. She faces adversity with stoic optimism, which leads her out of the dire circumstances. The narrative demonstrates the value of kindness over cleverness, the importance of giving freely and respecting others, no matter their station in life.
