A Little Princess

By: Frances Hodgson Burnett

Narrated by: Alice Johnson

"A Little Princess" is a beloved classic of English children's literature. Captain Crewe, a wealthy young English widower, enrolls his seven-year-old daughter Sara, who has been living in India, at Miss Minchin's boarding school for girls in London, in order to prepare her for a future life in society. Crewe dotes on his daughter, ordering and paying for her special treatment at the school, such as her own room fitted with extra luxuries, her own maid, and her own carriage for rides.

Despite her special status, Sara does not act snobbish and instead is quiet, well-mannered and kind, going out of her way to befriend Ermengarde, the school dunce; Lottie, a four-year-old student prone to temper tantrums; and Becky, the lowly scullery maid. Sara gains the reputation of being like a "princess", and embraces it by trying to behave as a kind and magnanimous princess would in all situations.©2017 Audioliterature (P)2017 Audioliterature

Love the story but

This was a cheaper version of the story. Unfortunately the recording for some reason kept dropping S sounds at time. So she sounded like he. It kept throwing me off.

Wonderful and Imaginative

A beautiful story in quintessential Frances Hodgson Burnett style. Children, animals and a little bit of "the magic".
