She is a student at Miss Minchin’s boarding school in London, where she is treated like a princess–until her wealthy father suddenly dies. Life changes overnight, and the now impoverished Sara is relegated to a small room in the attic. She is also ridiculed, insulted, and forced to work as a servant. However, Sara is clever enough to turn her luck around. A Little Princess [1905] is one of the most beloved children’s books of all time and has been adapted for film and television several times. FRANCES HODGSON BURNETT [1849-1924] emigrated from England to the USA after her father’s death and settled in Knoxville, Tennessee. She is best known for The Secret Garden [1911], one of the great classics of children's literature.
