A fantastic read, which I would recommend for all ages.

''A Little Princess'' is about Sara Crewe who has gone to live and study at a seminary in London run by the cruel Miss Minchin. She is a kind and humble young girl, who loves to 'pretend' and 'suppose' and remains a princess at heart even during trials and tribulations when she is put to work as a servant when her father dies and everyone believes her massive fortune is lost. She is then extremely fortunate and everything changes for her, when luck strikes and finds a dear friend right next door, right on the other side of her attic wall.

A story of perseverance, kindness and making do with what one has, this book is an absolute classic and must-read.

I will leave you with this quote from the book itself:
“If I am a princess in rags and tatters, I can be a princess inside. It would be easy to be a princess if I were dressed in cloth of gold, but it is a great deal more of a triumph to be one all the time when no one knows it.”

One of the rare occasions in which I prefer the book over the adaptation. Beautifully written
