Average Rating:
 Rating:  - another children's classic by a master storyteller.I grew up watching the films, so there were a couple of surprises when I finally sat down and read the original novel. Sara Crewe is a spoiled little girl and called a "princess" by everyone, some insultingly and others endearingly. Her life changes utterly when her father dies and she is reduced to Cinderella, working as a scullery maid. Frances Hodgson Burnett was a master of fairy tale-like literature for children with her simple beautiful prose and clever stories. Here, she presents a very different ... Read More Rating:  - A Little PrincessI know there are probably a lot of people that would gag on the sugary sweetness of this book, but as a book for little girls it is absolutely enchanting. Even as an adult I still adore its sweet little heroine and her bravery and goodness. The story is about Sara, a pampered little girl who travels to New York to attend school whilst her father does his work. She begins as the gem of the school, the administration falling over her, or more precisely Daddy's money. Then tragedy strikes, and ...

Needless to say this is a fairly direct departure from the films. Sara Crewe and her world is not the sappy musical world of Shirley Temple nor the melodrama of the more recent version.

"the Magic")This book is about a rightly raised little girl and how she turns out - nearly PERFECT. This goes to show parents to BE NICE TO THEIR dependant and helpless little kids - brats are raised by @sshole parents, NOT by kind and loving parents, as Sarah's dad had been. It is about a very serious battle of the Self. Sarah says to every one "me and you are the same. it just so happens that I was born rich and you born poor." It doesn't make us WHO we are." which is true, but then her self-doubt manifests "who ... Read More Rating: - An enduring classic!Good to see that readers are still enjoying this marvelous 1905 book which makes it a century old. Reminiscent of Dickens, but mercifully shorter, the prose flows in beautiful rhythms keeping young readers and readers like myself who are young at heart poised to keep on reading to find out what becomes of our tough little heroine. Sara had a charmed life as an only and beloved child which fortified her through later immense difficulties as she fell from riches to rags. Her ability to tell stories ... Read More
