A Little Princess
Book (italiano):
<DIV>Sara Crewe, an exceptionally intelligent and imaginative student at Miss Minchin's Select Seminary for Young Ladies, is devastated when her adored, indulgent father dies. Now penniless and banished to a room in the attic, Sara is demeaned, abused, and forced to work as a servant. How this resourceful girl's fortunes change again is at the center of <b>A Little Princess</b>, one of the best-loved stories in all of children's literature.<br><br> This unique and fully annotated edition appends excerpts from <b>Frances Hodgson Burnett</b>'s original 1888 novella <b>Sara Crewe</b> and the stage play that preceded the novel, as well as an early story, "Behind the White Brick," allowing readers to see how A Little Princess evolved. In his delightful introduction, U. C. Knoepflmacher considers the fairy-tale allusions and literary touchstones that place the book among the major works of Victorian literature, and shows it to be an exceptionally rich and resonant novel. </div>
