Item Description...
Overview
Sara Crewe, a pupil at Miss Minchin's London school, is left in poverty when her father dies but is later rescued by a mysterious benefactor.
Publishers Description
The illustrations for this series were created by Scott McKowen, who, with his wife Christina Poddubiuk, operates Punch & Judy Inc., a company specializing in design and illustration for theater and performing arts. Their projects often involve research into the visual aspects of historical settings and characters. Christina is a theater set and costume designer and contributed advice on the period clothing for the illustrations.
Scott created these drawings in scratchboard an engraving medium which evokes the look of popular art from the period of these stories. Scratchboard is an illustration board with a specifically prepared surface of hard white chalk. A thin layer of black ink is rolled over the surface, and lines are drawn by hand with a sharp knife by scraping through the ink layer to expose the white surface underneath. The finished drawings are then scanned and the color is added digitally.
As the popularity of the recent Lemony Snicket books proves, children never get tired of reading about orphans and their misfortunes. So Frances Hodgson Burnett's 1905 story about a pampered little rich girl who suddenly finds herself poor and fatherless should continue to entice generations of fans.

 | My reveiw--- Aly May 24, 2010 |
I love this book because she is so mature when the book starts(she is still mature every where else too)even though she is just 7. I think this is a really good girl book but NOT for boys AT ALL! :) It is a really good choice for reading for girls 9-12.
I love it!!!!!!!! | | | | A little Princess-Emma's Review Apr 11, 2010 |
A Little Princess is a warm and loving book that follows Sara Crew's life. Sara is a rich little girl who has the finest clothing, eats the most delicious foods, travels around the world and gets the finest toys. Her whole world changes when her fortune is lost. She becomes a maid who sleeps with rats and mice. But with her imagination she learns how to get through the unfortunate days of being a beggar girl.
I recommend this book for all ages. Kids and adults will both love it. When I got this book I couldn't put it down. The author describes the characters in the story very well so the reader can follow along. | | | | Good morals but the author is a little repetitive Sep 23, 2009 |
| As much as I liked this book and Burnett's others (Little Lord Fauntleroy and The Secret Garden), it's clear that Francis Hodgson Burnett picked a theme and stuck with it. I can imagine that these books were written for children as moral tales, and I think they serve their purpose well. All of the protagonists are well-behaved at the end of the story, and good things come to little children who control their emotions, are polite, and don't throw temper tantrums or complain. These are great books for children because of their morals, but I'd wait a month or two between reading one to go on to the next; otherwise, they might feel a little bit repetitive. | | |  | True nobility lies in our choices May 26, 2009 |
| A fabulous book emphasizing that true nobility lies in our choices. This book teaches the importance of gratitude, keeping a cheerful disposition, having charity, serving others, imagination, and always remembering who you really are. | | | | A Book for all Genders May 5, 2009 |
| There are so many wonderful detailed reviews for this book, I will not go into the beauty of the characters and the clever writing... I would simply add that as a mother of three boys, I was uncertain to the appeal of this book. I was pleasantly surprised and would recommend this book for boys not only girls. | | | Write your own review about A Little Princess (Unabridged Classics)
