Synopsis "A Little Princess: The story of Sara Crewe"

A little princess is a children's novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. In 1888, two years after the book Little Lord Fauntleroy, she brought in the youth magazine Saint Nicholas the serialized novel Sara Crewe: or, What Happened at Miss Minchin's Boarding School. After the success of the series, she published a novella in 1903 as A Little Princess. In 1905 it was followed by the conversion to an enhanced novel, A Little Princess: The story of Sara Crewe, in which now also appear the classmates Lottie and Ermengarde, the maid Becky and the rat Melchisedec. The anime adaptation on the novel called Princess Sara was produced by Nippon Animation in 1985. An American film adaptation was made in 1995 ran under the same tittle as the book. The film was critically acclaimed.

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.
