[Synopsis]
Seven-year-old Sara Crewe and her father, Captain Crewe, arrive at Miss Minchin's boarding school for girls in London. Captain Crewe is very rich. It is believed that he has a diamond mine. Miss Minchin treats Sara as a star pupil and the other children call her a Princess.
Four years later, just as Sara's luxurious birthday party ends, Miss Minchin learns of Captain Crewe's death. His lawyer comes to the boarding school and tells Miss Minchin the unfortunate news. His investment has failed and he has lost everything. Now Sara is penniless, with no money to pay the bills.
This book is rewritten from "A Little Princess" by Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924), published in 1905. It has been made into movies, TV series and musicals many times.
