Frances Hodgson Burnett’s classic Cinderella story of a young girl who maintains kindness above all as she goes from riches to rags and back again now has an eye-catching new cover.

A Little Princess tells the story of Sara Crewe, the privileged daughter of a wealthy merchant, who is treated like the princess of Miss Minchin’s boarding school. Sara is expected to become even wealthier as her father has invested in newly discovered diamond mines. Although often presented as the star pupil by the materialistic headmistress, Sara nevertheless finds ways to show kindness and generosity to all around her.

But when Sara’s fortunes are suddenly reversed, she is left completely alone and penniless. As she becomes a scullery maid at the school and is scorned by the people who once doted on her, Sara’s fierce determination to stay a princess despite her circumstances, by maintaining her dignity and kindness, has intrigued and delighted readers for over a hundred years.
