Publisher's Summary:
"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.

Inspirational Story Telling
I am a grown man well into my years, and I am not afraid to admit that I just read this book for the first time ever, and I simply loved it. When I first heard about this book, the description of it sounded like something I would really enjoy reading, but because of the title, I was a little hesitant due to my masculine ego...hehe. But when I found out one of my co-workers, another grown man - lol, that this was one of his favorite books ever, and he also owned the DVD too, I had to give it a read. And I simply could not put it down.
Let me tell you this: Drop Rambo and the Little Princess Sara Crewe down the deepest darkest abyss that you can find, and my money is on Sara Crewe climbing back out alive, and probably carrying Rambo on her little shoulders.
Sara Crewe vs. Freddy Krueger? Ha! Freddy doesn't have a chance!
Seriously, Sara Crewe has to be one of the top best fictional characters of all time. Sara Crewe is like a super hero trapped in a little girl's body. And while she doesn't have any super-powers; she can't climb walls or leap tall buildings, yet, her selfless acts of compassion and kindness, and her courage and determination in the face of adversity are truly heroic and inspirational. And her wonderous imagination, witty mind and dialogue are pure joy to read and will keep you turning the page until you sadly realize the story is already over.
Everyone should read this book, no matter what age.
I bought this little version of the book for my niece as gift because of its little size and cute appearance.
Francess Hodgson Burnett has created a wonder, and this story will forever be a classic and a must read.
Thank-you, Collector's Library!
I first read "A Little Princess" in paperback form years ago. My old paperback, despite TLC, was wearing down, so when I saw these Collector's Library books being sold, I bought it & others to replace old paperback copies of other favorites. These books, if you can overlook their being printed in China, are decently-made hardbacks, but are as inexpensive as current paperbacks & small enough to fit in a pocket or purse. As with any modern-made books, you have to expect some mis-prints, but there aren't too many. Among other classics, this Library has the complete Sherlock Holmes series, Jane Austen's works, the Iliad & Odyssey, & various other delights.
