"A Little Princess: Being the whole story of Sara Crewe now told for the first time" by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a children's novel published in 1905. When wealthy young Sara Crewe's fortune vanishes and her father dies, the cruel headmistress Miss Minchin transforms her from pampered student into an overworked servant.

A mysterious benefactor begins secretly improving her dire circumstances, leading to unexpected discoveries.
