Frances Hodgson Burnett' s classic Cinderella story of a young girl who maintains kindness above all as she goes from riches to rags and back again now has an eye-catching new cover. Sara Crewe is the privileged daughter of a wealthy merchant and is treated like the princess of Miss Minchin' s boarding school. And soon, Sara is expected to become even more wealthy as her father has invested in newly discovered diamond mines. Although she' s often presented as the star pupil by the materialistic headmistress, Sara nevertheless finds ways to show kindness and generosity to all around her. But when Sara' s fortunes are suddenly reversed, she' s left completely alone and penniless. As she becomes a scullery maid at the school and is scorned by the people who once doted on her, Sara' s fierce determination to stay a princess despite her circumstances by maintaining her dignity and kindness has intrigued and delighted readers for over a hundred years.
Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924) was born in Manchester, England, but moved to America as a teenager. A gifted writer from childhood, Burnett took to writing as a means of supporting her family, creating stories for Lady' s Book, Harper' s Bazaar, and other magazines. Though she began writing novels for adults, she gained lasting success writing for children. She is best known for Little Lord Fauntleroy (1855-1856), A Little Princess (1905), and The Secret Garden (1911).
