An Apple Books Classic edition. Sarah Crewe is a firm believer that character, not money, makes one a princess. Either way, the kind-hearted girl is in luck: while her wealthy father serves with the British army in India, she’s sent to Miss Minchin’s elite boarding school in London. But when Sarah’s father passes away, the money runs dry and the headmistress makes Sarah’s life miserable, forcing her to sleep in a freezing attic and work long hours.
What will happen to the little princess now that she has no one to care for her? With its empathic heroine, this magical tale of lost-and-found fortune has enchanted and inspired readers since 1905.
Quotes
From WikiquoteNever did she find anything so difficult as to keep herself from losing her temper when she was suddenly disturbed while absorbed in a book. People who are fond of books know the feeling of irritation which sweeps over them at such a moment. The temptation to be unreasonable and snappish is one not easy to manage.
If I am a princess in rags and tatters, I can be a princess inside. It would be easy to be a princess if I were dressed in cloth of gold, but it is a great deal more of a triumph to be one all the time when no one knows it.
[T]o be able to learn things quickly isn't everything. To be kind is worth a great deal to other people.
