The Wonderful Little Princess for You

The story begins with little Sara Crewe traveling from the life she's always known living in India with her beloved Father, Captain Crewe, to be schooled like all proper British girls in London.

Her father is loathe to let her go but knows he must for her own good. Almost immediately upon arrival, Sara sees quite clearly with her wise beyond her years insight that Miss Minchin, the proprietor of the school, is not a fair lady, although she hides it well enough. Just as immediately, Sara gets the reputation of being a little princess as her father lavishly buys cloths, dolls and comfortable living quarters.

But Sara is not the spoiled child you might think her to be, no, quite the opposite. She could have cared less for all the finery if only to stay with her Papa, but of course society says otherwise and far too quickly she is left behind.

Miss Minchin doesn't make it easy for Sara, of course, but because she values Sara's money, she plays along with Captain Crewe's desires of spoiling the child- even when Sara unintentionally repeatedly reveals with her calm spirit that she is far more clever than the mean-spirited proprietress of the boarding school. Then, on the very day of Sara's 11th birthday, a news arrives that tests Sara even more...

This is a simple heart warming story of a rich girl whose fortunes play hide and seek with her. Initially she is very rich and enjoys everything as a princess and after some time we see her reduced to a pauper, having nothing and no body in the world. She works and struggles to support her life as a charity pupil. And then arrives the fairy tale ending in which the pauper is restored to unimaginable riches.

Sara is exactly the kind of girl that everyone admires: Clever, pretty, just a bit so noble.
