    I read this book as a young child, and it always helped me. This is the kind of princess I always tried to be. When my mother was Miss Minchin, and behaved horribly to me or my siblings, I tried to imagine I was Sara Crewe suffering in an attic, and using my imagination to free me from the pain or drudgery of my life.

    I love this reading. This book often runs through my mind when I have difficult situations, like now. Her move to behave as a princess when she was a servant is encouraging. It reminds me to behave kindly to all people no matter their condition.
    This is a treasure for any girl or woman at any age.

    "She always dreaming and thinking odd things and could not herself remember anytime when she had not been thinking things about grown up people and the world they belonged to. She felt as though she had lived a long long time." This book is sacred and means everything to me. Thank you! So much love! 💖🌹

    Thank you for bringing such a wonderful book to life with your narration. I read "A Little Princess" as a child and it forever changed me. As now, as an adult, when I find myself facing difficult situations, I imagine that I am a little princess and strive to face each challenge with as much kindness and dignity as I can muster.

      I think it depended on the families, I think some of the girls went home for summer, but other girls especially ones that had parents that traveled or were too far away to get them like Sara’s father (before he died) stayed at school.

    • @blueberryclimax2104
      @blueberryclimax2104 3 роки тому +4

      Well, a Mary Sue is a character who is so unnecessarily perfectionized and is so used to becoming the center of everything with little or no tribulations at all, to the point of irritating the reader. But this is not the case here.The main concept of the book is to convey the message of how bravery and optimism can give people the strength to stand through any trials and tribulations. Moreover, it also convinces the children to be kind and humble to everyone regardless of the circumstances they are in. So therefore it's a very simple heartwarming MORAL STORY containing life lessons ( excluding any types of character complications ) for children to read.

    Someone likely already commented on the painting name and artist, but since I don't see it I decided to be extra.
    Even more extra, last listed auction was in 2003 valued at ~$80-110k USD & remained unsold.
