"A Little Princess" is Frances Hodgson Burnett's beloved novel of privilege, hardship and redemption. It is regularly listed among the finest children's books ever written and has been adapted to the stage and screen dozens of times.

Young Sara Crewe lives the life of a princess. Born to rich father who dotes on her, she enjoys all the trappings of wealth: carriages, fine clothing, servants...anything her heart desires. As her father - a Captain in the British Army - is stationed in India, Sara is sent to an all-girls boarding school in England where she is afforded every luxury, including a maid and a private room. But when her father dies and his fortune dries up, Sara finds herself a penniless orphan, abused by her guardian and forced to work at menial jobs to scratch out an existence.

A beautiful story of survival, friendship and the power of the human spirit,"A Little Princess" is ranked fifty-six on the School Library Journal's list of the one hundred greatest children's books of all time. It is presented here in its original and unabridged format, just as it first appeared in print in 1905.
