A Little Princess (Annotated) Frances Hodgson Burnett

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-a historical epoch from the elements provided by the text. Hence the importance of placing the document in context. It is necessary to unravel what its author or authors have said, how it has been said, when, why and where, always relating it to its historical moment. Imagination is creation; It is a representation of ideals, but based on a reality and curiosity to know that reality. It is important because it helps to develop learning, socialization and problem solving abilities, in short, to grow. To believe in something is to have ideals, beliefs that are defended and promoted, because they are the guidelines under which one lives, in actions and based on values. Imagining and believing in something is part of a person's identity and, at the stage of childhood, they are the guidelines that form the individual and help him to his growth, to his human development. Sara, the protagonist, believes in the imagination, because from her it is allowed to live, grow, experiment and understand; magic becomes his ability to dream, to create, to believe that everything is possible and, therefore, to fight for it. The story tells Sara's life once she moves from India to London, after her father decides to go fight during the First World War. She arrives at a school for young ladies, a boarding school run by Miss Minchin.
