Beschreibung

A Little Princess is Frances Hodgson Burnett's beloved classic of imagination, courage, and dignity under hardship. Sara Crewe arrives at Miss Minchin's London boarding school as a wealthy, generous, and unusual child, treated like a little princess because of her father's fortune and her own natural grace. But when tragedy leaves her penniless and alone, Sara is stripped of comfort, status, and affection, forced to live as a servant in the attic of the very school where she was once admired.
What makes Sara unforgettable is not wealth, but the inner life she refuses to surrender. Through hunger, humiliation, loneliness, and cruelty, she clings to kindness, storytelling, self-command, and the belief that one can behave nobly even when the world behaves badly. First published in its expanded novel form in 1905, A Little Princess remains one of the great children's classics: a boarding-school story, an orphan story, and a deeply satisfying tale of reversal, endurance, and hope.
Readers who love classic children's literature, orphan stories, boarding-school fiction, girls' books, and stories of resilience will find A Little Princess as powerful as ever. Like The Secret Garden, it shows Burnett's gift for turning childhood suffering into transformation without losing warmth, wonder, or emotional force.

Über den Autor

Frances Hodgson Burnett was a British-American novelist and playwright whose children's books became some of the most enduring works of English-language juvenile fiction. Born in Manchester, England, in 1849, she emigrated with her family to the United States as a teenager and began publishing stories to help support them. Her fiction often combines hardship, imagination, social contrast, emotional transformation, and the moral power of kindness, giving young characters the ability to endure or reshape difficult circumstances.Burnett's best-known children's novels include Little Lord Fauntleroy, A Little Princess, and The Secret Garden. Each became a classic in its own way, but A Little Princess remains especially beloved for Sara Crewe's dignity, generosity, and refusal to let cruelty define her. Burnett's work continues to appeal to readers of classic children's literature, girls' fiction, orphan stories, boarding-school stories, family read-alouds, and novels where inner strength matters more than outward fortune.
