Beschreibung

A Little Princess is one of Frances' most-loved novels. Penned by Frances Hodgson Burnett, an English-American playwright & author who is always remembered for her masterpiece in Children's Literature & Stories, A Little Princess is a heart-warming story of an innocent little girl. The rags to riches storyline of all her novels manifest her rise from being criticized as 'Scandalous' to an International author.

We get some glimpse of that replicated in her stories as well.
