Description
A Little Princess, by Frances Hodgson Burnett, tells the story of Sara Crewe, a wealthy and kind young girl who is enrolled in a London boarding school by her adoring, but recently widowed, father.
- A sudden change: When her father is reported to have died penniless from a failed business venture, Sara is cast from her life of luxury.
- The cruel headmistress: The selfish and materialistic headmistress, Miss Minchin, who had formerly fawned over Sara, forces her to work as a servant to pay for her lodging in a cold attic.
- The inner princess: Despite being mistreated, scorned by her schoolmates, and forced to endure harsh conditions, Sara retains her dignity and kindness. She uses her imagination to maintain her spirit, pretending that she is a princess on the inside, even while dressed in rags.
- A mysterious benefactor: A mysterious person begins to leave gifts of food and other comforts in Sara’s miserable attic room, transforming her life.
- A happy ending: It is eventually revealed that the mysterious benefactor is her father’s former business partner, Mr. Carrisford, who had been searching for her. Her father’s business venture had become a success, leaving Sara as the heiress to a fortune. Sara is rescued, and she uses her new fortune to ensure that other poor children are taken care of.
