Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A timeless Cinderella story, A Little Princess is one of the best-loved children's classics of all time. A heartwarming tale that champions the power of imagination. 'I'd read Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden and loved it - so I tried A Little Princess and liked it even more!' Jacqueline Wilson 'Sara Crewe is a Cinderella figure... She is intelligent and good humored with an infectious warmth that embraces the lowliest of her new acquaintances. The sunshine continues when impoverishment and drudgery befall her and she relies on her private fantasies to preserve her natural zest for life' Guardian 'It would be easy to be a princess if I were dressed in cloth of gold, but it is a great deal more of a triumph to be one all the time when no one knows it.' When Sara Crewe is sent to Miss Minchin's school for young ladies, her indulgent father provides for her as if she were a little princess. But although her toys and clothes are the envy of the other girls, Sara's kindness and gift for storytelling soon win her lots of friends. Then, the tragic news arrives that her father has died penniless and, without wealth or a guardian, Sara is at the mercy of Miss Minchin. Forced to work from dawn until dusk as the school's unpaid servant, she looks over the rooftops from her damp attic room and dreams of a better life. All is not lost: she has friends, courage and imagination - maybe that's all she really needs.

This book was released on 2021-01-25 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Little Princess begins with seven-year-old Sara Crewe's journey from India, where she has been raised by her father, to London, where she is to attend boarding school. Before bidding her farewell, her doting father gives her extravagant gifts including custom-made clothes and a beautiful doll, which she names Emily. The father and daughter say an emotional farewell before Captain Crewe returns to India. Sara desperately misses her father, but survives on the strength of her friendliness and active imagination. She tells exciting stories, which make her popular among her classmates, and she enjoys pretending that her doll, Emily, is capable of thinking and understanding her. Sara's new friends in this period include Ermengarde, a well-intentioned but rather dull classmate who looks up to her, and Lottie, the school's youngest student, who accepts Sara as a kind of surrogate mother. Moreover, Sara's extreme wealth gains her favor with the school's leadership. Miss Minchin, the headmistress, dislikes Sara but treats her well out of a materialistic desire for her family's money. Some students, such as Sara's rival Lavinia, envy her wealth, but Sara is constantly selfless and unspoiled. She goes out of her way to share food, toys, and resources with those who lack them, especially the mistreated scullery maid, a young girl named Becky.

The novel was published by Charles Scribner's Sons (also publisher of St. Nicholas) with illustrations by Ethel Franklin Betts and the full title A Little Princess: Being the Whole Story of Sara Crewe Now Being Told for the First Time.The novella appears to have been inspired in part by Charlotte Brontë's unfinished novel, Emma, the first two chapters of which were published in Cornhill Magazine in 1860, featuring a rich heiress with a mysterious past who is apparently abandoned at a boarding school.The thread of the book is evident in the novella, in which Sara Crewe is left at Miss Minchin's, loses her father, is worked as a drudge, and is surprised with the kindness of an Indian gentleman who turns out to be Captain Crewe's friend. However, at just over one-third the length of the later book, the novella is much less detailed.Generally, the novel expanded on things in the novella; Captain Crewe's "investments" are only referred to briefly and generally, and much of the information revealed in conversations in the novel is simply summarized. However, there are details in the novella which were dropped for the novel. While a drudge, Sara is said to have frequented a library, in which she read books about women in rough circumstances being rescued by princes and other powerful men. In addition, Mr. Carrisford's illness is specified as liver trouble.After writing Sara Crewe, Burnett returned to the material in 1902, penning the three-act stage play A Little Un-fairy Princess, which ran in London over the autumn of that year. Around the time it transferred to New York City at the start of 1903 with title was shortened to A Little Princess. (It was A Little Princess in London, but The Little Princess in New York.)Burnett said that after the production of the play on Broadway, her publisher, Charles Scribner's Sons asked her to expand the story into a full-length novel and "put into it all the things and people that had been left out before." The book was illustrated by Ethel Franklin Betts and published in 1905 under the full title A Little Princess: Being the Whole Story of Sara Crewe Now Being Told for the First Time.
