A Little Princess
by Frances Hodgson Burnett
The secret garden is one of my favorite classics of all time. It combines so many amazing and timeless themes and surrounds them with a little bit of magic. But, for some reason a little princess is even less known in the Netherlands and had therefore never really caught my attention. Until I saw this gorgeous edition in London.
And it didn't take long for this book to find its way to my heart. The story is, from beginning to start heartwarming and gripping. It's written in a very easy to read way, even after all those years, and it really made me feel like I was there and knew Sara, could see her walking around and was sitting on the rug, just like all the other kids, to listen to her gripping stories.
The power of this book is the simplicity of what's been told and shown that still feels like something big. The setting is simple, Sara is a very easy to like and easy to grasp character, and nothing that happens to her seems so incredibly big. Which is probably because Sara never makes a drama out of anything, which makes her very likeable.
A little princess is a heartwarming story about the power of love, the power of imagination and the promise that good things eventually happen to those who keep on giving good things to others, even when they don't really have anything left to give.
