Little Princess

Little Princess / Frances Hodgson Burnett. — Kyiv : Znannia, 2022. — 191 p. — (American Library).

“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,” thinks Sara Crewe, the character of the novel “A Little Princess” written by Frances H. Burnett (1849—1924). Th is conviction helps the girl to endure the hard times after her father dies in faraway India with dignity when she becomes almost a servant in a school for young ladies where she used to be a privileged pupil. But despite all the trials, and occasionally even hunger and cold, Sara still believes in miracles and that one day fate will smile on her again.
