Sara Crewe grew up the child of a wealthy father, and she's used to being treated like a princess. But when her father dies — and his wealth is suddenly lost — Sara finds her old friends and admirers have vanished, and Miss Minchin, her boarding school headmistress, forces her to work as an errand girl to cover her unpaid bills, starving her and making her stay in a freezing room in the attic. Sara, though, is convinced that was makes a girl a princess is determination, spirit, and generosity — attributes that can never be taken away.
This enduring story about the power of kindness and hope still speaks to any reader who knows that what's inside one's heart is more important than any material wealth. Sara's fierce determination to maintain her dignity and remain a princess inside has intrigued and delighted readers for over a hundred years, even inspiring a popular feature film. Now, you can own this classic in a stunning Puffin in Bloom edition with all-new cover art by Anna Bond!
