A Little Princess
Hodgson Burnett's tale of a wealthy little girl sent to boarding school in London who falls out of favour when Daddy's wealth disappears is a lesson in coping with changing fortunes. Sara Crewe is sent to a girl's boarding school whilst her her wealthy father, Captain Ralph Crewe, goes off to fight in the Boer War. Sara is initially treated like a princess at the school due to her wealth and status. She is well-loved by her classmates and Miss Minchin, the headmistress, who showers her with attention and luxurious accommodations. Pretty and rich Sara is the favourite of all, but still manages to be kind and thoughtful. When news comes that her father is dead and the money gone, Miss Minchen, the boarding mistress, does not feel she can throw Sara out so she makes her a housemaid, shifting her to the attic with the existing maid. Sara's imagination keeps both her fellow maid and herself sane. In the rooftops they befriend the Indian servant of the man who lives next door. It is through this friendship that Sara is discovered by the friend of her father and rescued from the clutches of the evil boarding mistress. And the servant girl is saved too (although Burnett still keeps her in her place as Sara's servant...).
