Sara Crewe, an exceptionally intelligent and imaginative student at Miss Minchin`s Select Seminary for Young Ladies, is devastated when her adored, indulgent father dies. Now penniless and banished to a room in the attic, Sara is demeaned, abused, and forced to work as a servant. How this resourceful girl`s fortunes change again is at the center of A Little Princess, one of the best-loved stories in all of children`s literature.
This unique and fully annotated edition appends excerpts from Frances Hodgson Burnett`s original 1888 novella Sara Crewe and the stage play that preceded the novel, as well as an early story, `Behind the White Brick,` allowing readers to see how A Little Princess evolved. In his delightful introduction, U. C. Knoepflmacher considers the fairy-tale allusions and literary touchstones that place the book among the major works of Victorian literature, and shows it to be an exceptionally rich and resonant novel.
