Inhaltsangabe:
The classic tale of rags to riches, and of kindness rewarded, that has entranced generations of children since 1905. Young Sara Crewe lives a life of luxury until a tragedy strikes. Thrown back on her own resources, Sara displays the nobility of a real princess until, as if by magic, her fortunes change again.
Sara was the adored only child of a rich, indulgent father. She arrived at Miss Minchin's Seminary for Young Ladies in a flurry of silks and satins. The envy of the pupils, who spitefully call her "the little princess," she lives a life of luxury-until her father dies and the unscrupulous and spiteful Miss Minchin relegates the poor girl to the seminary's attic.
Frances Hodgson Burnett was a British-American novelist and author of The Secret Garden. This novel, A Little Princess, shares the same sense of drama and charm as well as an understanding that nothing is more important than the friends we make in this life. The U.S. National Education Association named the book one of its "Teachers' Top Books for Children."
Von der hinteren Coverseite: Young Sara Crewe, adored only child of a rich, indulgent father, arrives at Miss Minchin's Seminary for Young Ladies in a flurry of silks and satins. The envy of the pupils, who spitefully call her "the little princess," she lives a life of luxury "š€š" until her father dies and the unscrupulous Miss Minchin reduces the girl to rags and relegates her to the attic. Thrown back on her own resources, and especially to her powerful imagination, Sara demonstrates that purity of spirit can overcome material poverty, displaying the nobility of a real princess throughout her travail. The tale of how Sara's fortunes change again, as if by magic, to bless her with untold wealth and a new family has entranced generations of children since 1905.
