Synopsis "La Princesita (in Spanish)"

Sara Crewe, hija de un rico militar destinado a la India, es internada en el colegio de Londres de la señorita Minckin cuando tiene siete años. Los medios económicos de su padre le permiten llevar un alto nivel de vida y la salvan de la inquina que le coge la directora. Sara se hace muy popular entre sus compañeras por su bondad y por su don para contar historias. Pero cuando llega la noticia de que su padre está enfermo y arruinado, es convertida en una sirvienta más del colegio. En esas condiciones, Sara conserva su presencia de ánimo y, como el lector desea y espera, encuentra el final feliz que merece.

Frances H. Burnett (1849, Manchester, England - 1924, Plandome, United States) lost her father when she was just five years old. The family had to endure economic hardships and in 1865 moved to the United States. Eight years later Frances got married, but she had already managed to publish in some American magazines like Godey’s Lady’s Book, Godey’s, Peterson’s Ladies’ Magazine, Scribner’s Monthly, and Harper’s. She was 28 years old when That Lass O’ Lowrie’s (1877), her first novel, appeared. However, it was Little Lord Fauntleroy (1886) that contributed the most to her popularity during her lifetime. It was aimed, along with Sara Crewe (1888) and The Secret Garden (1911), at the young reader. The latter is considered her most valuable contribution.
