To prepare his daughter, Sara, for society, wealthy widower Captain Ralph Crewe enrolls her in Miss Minchin’s Select Seminary for Young Ladies. Unspoiled and genial, Sara is given all the luxuries her father can afford—and the obsequious Miss Minchin is happy to indulge. But when her father dies and his fortune is lost, Sara is forced into servitude, stripped of her privileges and possessions, and subjected to Miss Minchin’s true cruel nature.
But as A Little Princess proves, with cleverness, resilience, selfless goodwill, and true friends, a child can be rewarded with infinite riches.

Revised edition: Previously published as A Little Princess, this edition of A Little Princess (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.
Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849–1924) was a popular British American novelist and playwright born to relative affluence in Manchester, England. After the death of her father and a reversal of fortune, Frances’s mother immigrated to the United States with her family and settled near Knoxville, Tennessee.
It was here, at the age of nineteen, where Frances began a modest career in writing to help support her family. Five years later, she married Dr. Swan Burnett, and she soon established herself as one of the most popular novelists of her era.
