Summary: The Imagination is Important
Review: The Little Princess
The book that I have just read is called the Little Princess and the author is Frances Hodgson Burnett. It is a fictional story about a young girl named Sara Crewe. She and her father, Captain Ralph Crewe, are very rich and fortunate people. While Captain Crew has to deal with some business in India, Sara is sent to a boarding school in London. Suddenly the girl's life takes an unexpected turn, and finds herself with nothing. Sara uses her wonderful imagination to save herself from suffering her unfortunate fate. In the end though, Sara finds a lifelong companion, and doesn't realize how close he's always been to her.
The Little Princess is a great book and has many strengths. It is so descriptive and it makes you feel like you are one of the characters. The author has you understand the view points if everyone in the story about how they feel about something. Another good quality about the book is that when you are reading it, you'll probably think about how thankful you are for what you have, and how others don't have as much as you. These are just a few of the many strengths about the Little Princess.
Now matter how good a book is, though, there is usually a couple weaknesses and this one is no different. The one major thing I found in this story is that sometimes a character is mentioned a lot in the beginning of the book, so you think that they are very important and then Frances Hodgson Burnett doesn't mention them any more. Overall, that is probably the only weakness I could find.
I think the author, Frances Hodgson Burnett, wanted her readers, after reading the book, to realize and be thankful for what they do have. She also wants people to share with others, and be generous, just like Sara Crewe was.
I would recommend the Little Princess to young girls because they are around the main characters age and probably have had similar experiences with peers and teachers. If you like fictional stories about sad events that turn out happy in the end, then you'd most likely enjoy reading the heart- warming story, the Little Princess.

Summary: Tears my heart out!
Review: When I was six years old, I somehow became convinced that I was a princess. As a result, I now have a copy of this book inscribed "Christmas 1976...From the Queen".I hadn't read it before, but it instantly became one of my favorites. I was reading it in bed when I got to the scene where Sara finds out her father is dead; I had to stop reading and cry myself to sleep. There are other scenes, though, that didn't make me cry then, but they sure do now. "Guy Clarence" giving his sixpence to Sara, so convinced that he's setting her up for life. Sara giving away the currant buns to the real beggar child, and the shopkeeper's reaction: "Left just one for herself. And she could have eaten the whole six. I saw it in her eyes." And the very last scene: "Her name is Anne. She has no other." Another scene that doesn't make me cry, but is still very moving, is when Ram Dass drops into Sara's attic to retrieve the monkey. That conversation plays on so many levels. First of all, he's respectful because she's white and female: kind of creepy from today's perspective, but OTOH, it's been a long time, at that point, since anyone has shown her any real respect. But, because they are both servants, he can be forthright with her, not just say "Yes, Missee Sahib" as he might have when she was wealthy. And moreover, it's refreshing for her to talk with him about India, which she apparently misses a lot. She was never miserable there, at any rate! And this scene is crucial, because after he leaves, she is face to face with the realization that her life is not going to get any better (as it stood, without Burnett's plot machinations). She mulls this, then decides, "Whatever comes cannot alter one thing. If I am a princess in rags and tatters, I can be a princess inside." Much more inspiring than that sappy "All girls are princesses" junk from the movie. Also, I realize now that Ermengarde really is dumb! Early on, Sara didn't need to be told that Becky was hungry, and having so much to spare, she freely shared food with her; nutritious stuff as well as delicacies. But Ermengarde has to be hit over the head with the concept before she timidly asks, "Sara...Are *you* ever hungry?" DUH! Miss Michin breaking up the feast was brutal beyond redemption, but Ermengarde was also remiss. She could have been smuggling food to Sara all along! My only regret is that my copy does not have the Tasha Tudor illustrations. I have seen them, and they are very fine, but I'm not giving up my copy at this stage!

Summary: Family Favorite
Review: Our family loves this story. We like this version and the original also. I think this version has better acting and script for the "little princess" and does not concern itself with too many side stories. In this story Sarah must live in a boarding school away from the land she loves (India) and the man she loves (her father). It is difficult enough for a lively girl with a big imagination to thrive in the stifling school, but when Sarah's circumstances change for the worse her imagination, belief in magic and determination serve her well. This movie will pull at your heartstrings and inspire you; I would give it 10 starts if I could.

Summary: A Beautiful Movie
Review: A Little Princess is a wonderful remake of the Shirley Temple version, and far better in my opinion! The story and how it unfolds gradually builds up tension so that you can never take your eyes off of it. The music and soundtrack are superb, enhancing the ever-present mystery and imagination. I thoroughly enjoy watching this movie again and again.

Summary: Inspiring Story!
Review: A Little Princess, written by Frances Hodgson Burnett was an inspiring story teaching a valuable lesson. Sara Crewe had everything she ever wanted when she went off to boarding school in London. Her fashionable dresses, high quality jewelery, and numerous accessories made her one of the elite. Sara's life was almost perfect, until her eleventh birthday, when a devastating tragedy occurred changing her life forever. Sara received news very abruptly that her father had died, leaving her "penniless". Sara's teacher, Ms. Minchin despised her because she had become poor, and treated her cruely. Now Sara must face her troubles and prove to everyone that she can be strong and perservere through her difficult times.
This book's moral states that everyone can be a princess when they put their minds to it. Being a princess is not about the fame and fortune, but about how you act in the situation into which you have been placed. You can be kind, or you can be mean; you can be content, or you can be greedy; you can be upset, or you can be optimistic. The book really relates to people who are going thruogh tough times in their lives and need reasurance and confidence.
