The story follows Sara Crewe, a young girl who is sent to Miss Minchin's boarding school in London while her father, Captain Crewe, goes off to war. Sara is initially treated like a princess due to her wealth and the doting affection of her father, who lavishes her with gifts and privileges.However, Sara's life takes a drastic turn when her father's fortune is lost, and she is reduced to a pauper, left to work as a servant at the boarding school she once attended as a wealthy student. Despite her hardships, Sara maintains her kindness, resilience, and imagination, finding solace in her love of storytelling and her belief in the power of being a "princess" in spirit, even in the face of adversity.Frances Hodgson Burnett's novel is celebrated for its themes of resilience, kindness, and the triumph of the human spirit. It explores the contrast between material wealth and inner character, as well as the importance of imagination and storytelling in coping with life's challenges. "Sara Crewe" has been adapted into various stage plays, films, and television series over the years, including the well-known 1905 play "A Little Princess" and the 1995 film adaptation directed by Alfonso Cuarón.
