Loved this - read it as a child, and will read it to my own kids. A children's book that has stood the test of time - some of the language and the attitudes are perhaps a little dated, but that doesn't detract from the gentle and expert storytelling. Recommended.
Something about this book gets me every time. It’s just so pleasant!

Those clothes! That doll! An evil headmistriss! And especially that attic!
Man...this is a beautiful book.
I read it shortly after reading “The Secret Garden,” which left me frankly underwhelmed...so I’ll admit I went in with very low expectations. “A Little Princess” absolutely exceeded every one.
The writing, plot, characters, character development, setting...everything was just delightful and spot on, what I really wished “Secret Garden” would have been. I’m honestly flabbergasted at the difference between the two books.
Stellar read, and one I’d like to find a super nice or unique copy of for my home library.

This is a very sweet story about a young, resourceful girl who manages to survive some brutal circumstances to come out the other side better than before. The story of Sara Crewe is one that I was familiar with from my childhood but there was something wonderful about reading the story again as an adult.
There is something a bit “Anne of Green Gables” in this story, as Sara spends most of the book pretending that she is someone or somewhere else. I suppose that makes sense given her circumstances though. This is a great story for young girls (or young boys) to read as its not particularly difficult but also has a satisfactory ending.
