 | Read, this is Important, some of the facts in these reviews are NOT true Dec 27, 2009 |
I've been reading the reviews and there is nothing really left to say except...
Yes, it is sad that Sara's father is never reunited with her but the joy that is expressed when Sara meets her father's old friend makes up for that.
But, no, Sara does not leave behind Becky; Becky actually becomes her new maid. Read the book thoroughly and you will see that no body gets left behind.
That is all I have to say. |

I love the original book, but this one was filled with pictures and it came with no locket, which is what I wanted.
No wonder it was on sale for a penny. |

| A Very Cute Read! Jun 17, 2009 |
| This book would be a cute birthday present for a little girl, I'd say around the age of 11 or 12. A cute, classic story of a rich girl reduced to rags, but maintaining her hope, optimism, and imagination |

| another children's classic by a master storyteller. Dec 31, 2008 |
| I grew up watching the films, so there were a couple of surprises when I finally sat down and read the original novel. Sara Crewe is a spoiled little girl and called a "princess" by everyone, some insultingly and others endearingly. Her life changes utterly when her father dies and she is reduced to Cinderella, working as a scullery maid. Frances Hodgson Burnett was a master of fairy tale-like literature for children with her simple beautiful prose and clever stories. Here, she presents a very different sort of princess, one with grace and generosity. Grade: A- |
