Book Description
A Little Princess is a children's novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, first published as a book in 1905. It is an expanded version of the short story "Sara Crewe: or, What Happened at Miss Minchin's", which was serialized in St. Nicholas Magazine from December 1887, and published in book form in 1888. According to Burnett, after she composed the 1902 play A Little Un-fairy Princess based on that story, her publisher asked that she expand the story as a novel with "the things and people that had been left out before". The novel was published by Charles Scribner's Sons (also publisher of St. Nicholas) with illustrations by Ethel Franklin Betts and the full title A Little Princess: Being the Whole Story of Sara Crewe Now Being Told for the First Time.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Little Princess Being the Whole Story of Sara Crewe, Now Told for the First Time I do not know whether many people realize how much more than is ever written there really is in a story - how many parts of it are never told - how much more really happened than there is in the book one holds in one's hand and pores ever. Stories are something like letters. When a letter is written how often one remembers things omitted and says, "Ah, why did I not tell them that?" In writing a book one relates all that one remembers at the time, and if one told all that really happened perhaps the book would never end. Between the lines of every story there is another story, and that is one that is never heard and can only be guessed at by the people who are good at guessing. The person who writes the story may never know all of it, but sometimes he does and wishes he had the chance to begin again. When I wrote the story of "Sara Crewe" I guessed that a great deal more had happened at Miss Minchin's than I had had time to find out just then.

Book Description
Sara Crewe is a very intelligent, polite, and creative young girl. Her father is Captain Crewe, a wealthy soldier in India. Sara loves her father and she is heart-broken when he sends her to London in Victorian-era England for a formal education. At the fancy girl's boarding school, Sara is a star pupil of the haughty headmistress, Miss Minchin.When Captain Crewe dies penniless, Sara is left at the mercy of the jealous Miss Minchin who agrees to let her sleep in the attic and work at the school as a servant girl. Sara undergoes numerous trials as she humbly allows herself to be subjected to servitude, but with the help of several dear friends, she remains as proud and unwavering and imaginative as ever, proving to all that she is, as the title says, "a little princess." Then, thanks to one of her father's friends, the Crewe family fortune is recovered, and Sara is rescued from the flabbergasted Miss Minchin's cruelty.
