A classic children's tale popularized again by the Shirley Temple movie of the same title. The book is a riches to rags to riches tale that encapsulates the fine line dividing the haves and the have-nots in our society, sometimes separated by only a pane of glass.

"A Little Princess" is one of Frances Hodgson Burnett's most loved stories. It is the story of young Sara Crewe who while growing up in a well to do household suddenly finds herself impoverished when her father, Captain Crewe, dies penniless in India. Sara is forced to abandon her life of privilege for a life of bare existence at Miss Minchin's boarding school. To survive those hard times she imagines herself to be a little princess as she awaits her rescue from a mysterious benefactor.
