A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a beloved childhood tale of endurance and the power of imagination. Sara Crewe is a pupil at Miss Minchin's Seminary for Young Ladies, bedecked and pampered due to her father's fortune. But when Captain Crewe dies, supposedly having lost everything in a poor investment in diamond mines, Miss Minchin demotes Sara from star pupil to maid. Sara's demeanor doesn't change, but rather she draws upon her inner reserves of strength to overcome her circumstances and continue to act as a princess would . . . drawing the attentions of her neighbors who have been looking for her.
