I pretend I am a princess, so that I can try and behave like one.”
When the kind and imaginative seven-year-old Sara Crewe reaches Miss Minchin’ s Select Seminary for Young Ladies with her papa, she doesn’ t quite like it.
“ I don’ t like it, papa,” she said. “ But then
I dare say soldiers— even brave ones— don’ t really like going into battle.”
The apple of her father’ s eye, Sara has all the privileges at the seminary and is treated with special care. Soon enough, she befriends her classmates and is nicknamed a ‘ princess’ , which she often pretends to be.
But just after her eleventh birthday, when the news of her father’ s death arrives, everything changes.Will Sara Crewe's imagination help her
cope up with the loss and hardships?
One of the all-time children’ s novels, Frances Hodgson Burnett’ s A Little Princess is a remarkable story. It has been adapted for films, theatre, musicals, and television, and continues to remain popular more than a century after its publication.

"Born in Cheetham, Manchester, England, on November 24, 1849, Frances Hodgson Burnett developed her love for reading at a very young age. With an active imagination, she wrote stories and enjoyed narrating them to her mother, cousins, and friends. In 1868, Burnett’ s first story was published in Godey’ s Lady’ s Book. She had begun writing for a livelihood and wrote non-stop. That Lass o’ Lowrie’ s, her first full-length novel, was published in 1877. She started writing children’ s fiction after meeting Louisa May Alcott and Mary Mapes Dodge— the editor of St. Nicholas, a children’ s magazine. In the winter of 1887, she published Sara Crewe or What Happened at Miss Minchin’ s in the United States. A Little Princess, an expanded version of Sara Crewe or What Happened at Miss Minchin’ s, was published in book form in September 1905. A huge success, it is still considered among children’ s all-time favourite novels. Burnett published The Secret Garden in 1911. A classic of children’ s literature, it became one of her most popular novels.
