A Little Princess
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Children’s
Jul 29, 2018
Like most heroes whose trials and triumphs readers have loved to assume as their own through the power of fanciful identification, Sara Crewe possesses a poise that never deserts her, no matter what misfortunes are thrown her way. And make no mistake: A Little Princess is an adventure story as filled with bravery and resourcefulness as any episode in the The Odyssey or in J. K. Rowling’s wizardly repertoire, even if Sara’s story unfolds in the domesticated precincts of a Victorian era boarding school for girls in London, and even though her courage manifests itself in powers of imagination and empathy rather than cunning or magic.
