A Little Princess is a childrens novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, better known for Little Lord Fauntleroy & The Secret Garden. It concerns the troubles of a wealthy young girl, Sara Crewe, who is sent to an oppressive London boarding school during her fathers campaign in India. Thanks to Capt. Crewes money, Sara is treated as a little princess until, one day, word comes of her fathers tragic death. Miss Minchin, the schools greedy headmistress, wastes no time in putting the now-penniless Sara to work for her room & board. It is only through the friendship of two other girls, her own resolute nature & some astonishing luck that Sara eventually finds her way back to happiness. The story was first published as the novella Sara Crewe, or What Happened at Miss Minchins in 1888, after a period Burnett spent travelling across Europe with her family. This version of the tale, while not differing in plot or characters, is only just over one-third the length of the later novel expansion. It lacks much of the detail & character development that makes the novel so charming to audiences today. Posters Of A Little Princess
