![]() ![]() Sara, with her green eyes, strange little face, and tattered clothes, comes alive in this book as the stories she tells come alive to her friends. The magic really works, as it did in the Secret Garden with Mary, Colin and Dickon. Alone in her attic, she makes friends with sparrows and a family of rats, and dreams of her room with all she needs in it. When poverty strikes and she is foreced to live in a garret, go half-staved and ill-clad through the cold London streets doing errands for her cruel headmistress, it is this imagination which helps her survive. But Sara has more than wealth, she has a loving heart, a quick mind, and above all a vivid imagination. ![]() She has everything that money can buy, so she is nicknamed the 'Little Princess'. ![]() Sara Crewe is sent home from India to a school in England by her rich father. A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett was an accidental purchase by my father but it is, and will probably forever be, my favourite book. ![]()
