I liked the ending.” Per my 7 year old. Read it as an afternoon read aloud for my 7 and 5 year old. It was a hit! Definitely as good as I remembered from my childhood. It does have a sad, but happy. I love how it isn’t the perfect happy ending. Review: Enchanting for all ages - The death of Shirley Temple inspired me to download the movie“The Little Princess” from desertcart Instant movies. And that inspired me to order this unabridged version (but the original edition was called “Sara Crewe or what happened at Miss Minchin's.”) I had not read Princess for three quarters of a century (I am now well over 80) but I never forgot the charming book which I read many times as a child and thoroughly identified with the plucky little Sara, absorbing the atmosphere of foggy London and Sara's dismal attic, being happy with her when things were going well, shedding a tear or two when things were not. One of the scenes that haunted me most as a child was when Sara, cold and hungry, throws Emily, her beloved doll, on the floor and cries “You are nothing but a doll!” She is almost at the end of her tether, but not quite. Also, her giving a beggar child five of six rolls a kindly baker had given the half-starved Sara made a huge impression on me as a little girl. Children immerse themselves in books more thoroughly than an adult, they really live inside the plot, they can and do smell the roses. When Sara was hungry, so was I. Princess is a whacking good story which allows the tale to rise above being a lesson in morals. Kids don't want to be preached to but given a good story and interesting characters they'll get the point subtly. But that is also true with adults. Some reviewers have criticized the book because at the end of the story Becky went home with Sara as her maid. Author Burnett, however, is being true to 1899 London. The Cockney Becky could never be the equal of Sara Crewe the heiress. It's the way things were and to some extent the way things still are. Other reviewers have complained that Sara is too perfect. She is, however, too spunky to be insipid and she is certainly not goody-goody like Pollyanna. As a child reader I didn't regard her as too perfect nor do I now. You will laugh at an old lady reading a children's book she hasn't read in 75 years But now I read as a literary critic and Princess is not wanting in the quality of its writing and the deft originality of the plot. Ms. Burnett can write with beautifully apt descriptions and a taut, quickly moving plot. She in no way dumbs down her prose when writing for children. She puts you into foggy London right away, and introduces Sara and her father to Miss Minchin's Seminary “where the very armchairs seemed to have hard bones in them” and Miss Minchin herself had “large cold fishy eyes and a large cold fishy smile.” If you have any little girl in your family who has not read “The Little Princess” do pop the book into her Christmas stocking. She'll love it, trust me! And so will you! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B074W9PT2M | | Accessibility | Learn more | | Best Sellers Rank | #101,777 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #27 in Classic Coming of Age Fiction #66 in Teen & Young Adult (Kindle Store) #106 in Teen & Young Adult Classic Literature | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (7,526) | | Enhanced typesetting | Enabled | | File size | 783 KB | | ISBN-13 | 978-1542099387 | | Language | English | | Page Flip | Enabled | | Part of series | Puffin in Bloom | | Print length | 158 pages | | Publication date | October 24, 2017 | | Publisher | AmazonClassics | | Reading age | 7+ years, from customers | | Screen Reader | Supported | | Word Wise | Enabled | | X-Ray | Enabled | ## Images ![A Little Princess (AmazonClassics Edition) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/8198VKwPi2L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Girlhood magic *by K***. on November 19, 2025* “The cover looks pretty.
