Features: A British officer living in India sends his young daughter, who has lost her mother, to a boarding school in London. The wealthy little girl enjoys the treatment of a little princess at school. However, one day, she hears the news that her father has died abroad. Suddenly, this "princess" becomes a little orphan and is degraded by the selfish school principal to become a maidservant, enduring all kinds of discrimination and suffering. However, what is important is that the little princess in our book, Sara, is not defeated by this. She still has the leisure to indulge in fantasies, which brings her an optimistic attitude toward life, allowing her to face misfortune with calmness. At the same time, in the harsh and impoverished environment, she remains upright and honest, and is warm, understanding, and helpful to others. The ending of the story will leave readers in shock. Little Princess was originally serialized in a magazine and became extremely popular at the time. Later, it was adapted into a play and was published as a novel in 1905.
