by Burnett, Frances Hodgson
Recently made into an acclaimed motion picture, A Little Princess was first published nearly a century ago. Its author, Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924), delighted readers with stories about people whose desperate situations invariably improved by the last chapter. This charming piece of fiction follows that pattern. In it, young Sara Crewe falls upon hard times at an English boarding school when her father suddenly dies, leaving her penniless and at the mercy of a vindictive headmistress. Despite a multitude of adversities, Sara maintains her optimism and goodness, qualities that do not go unnoticed by a mysterious benefactor who eventually transforms her life. Like Dover's bestselling edition of Burnett's The Secret Garden, this newly illustrated version of A Little Princess will captivate romantics of all ages.
Original Dover abridgment by Bob Blaisdell of a standard edition. 30 black-and-white illustrations by Thea Kliros. 96pp. 5 3/16" x 8 1/4", July 1996, Paperbd.
