Features: This book is a classic children's literary work by British author Frances Burnett, a Cinderella-like children's novel. The young heroine, Sarah Crewe, a British girl, lives a life like a princess in a boarding school. However, with the death of her father, her status at the school suffers a devastating blow. Displaced and impoverished, Sarah struggles through life under the hypocritical and cruel pity of the female headmistress, enduring immense hardships. Yet, Sarah remains optimistic and resilient. This is the English edition. The news of her father's death and bankruptcy instantly reduces Sarah from the enviable "little princess" to a maid in the boarding school. She experiences the coldness of human hearts but always maintains a kind and noble heart, because she believes: "Even if I wear rags, I can be a princess in my heart."
