A children's classic with evergreen appeal, "A Little Princess" is both a lavish period piece and a wonderful story about hope in the face of adversity. At its core, its aim is to show the intrinsic benefits of being a good and kind person. Though the characters are drawn broadly, as was the custom of the era, Sara Crewe still manages to be an engaging and sympathetic heroine. Her story can't help but inspire its readers to aspire to her level of decency and resolve. This book gave me great comfort as a child of adversity myself, and I am confident it will continue to be a resource for children long into the future.
