‘It would be easy to be a princess if I were dressed in cloth of gold, but it is a great deal more of a triumph to be one all the time when no one knows it.’

Sara Crewe, a green eyed and black-haired beauty, is exceptionally adored and loved by her father even more so after her mother’s death.

When her father leaves for a military service, Sara is enrolled at Miss Minchin’s Select Seminary for Young Ladies. Although showered by gifts and dolls; Sara was simple and empathetic, she gave her best toys and dresses to the other girls simply because it would make them happy.

One day, Sara is told that her father passed away; with no money left, she was banished to live in the attic and clean the hostel. In the toughest circumstances, Sara was kind, patient and helpful.

Will Sara’s deep faith, and kindness help bring change in her circumstances?

Frances Hodgson Burnett

Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924). Novelist and children’s writer, Hodgson Burnett’s reputation rests on her three famous children’s books, Little Lord Fauntleroy, A Little Princess and The Secret Garden.
Frances Hodgson was born in Manchester in November 1849, one of five children of a well-to-do manufacturer. After the death of her father the family fell upon hard times and in 1865 they emigrated to America. Frances, however, was not to forget about her life in Manchester and her first novel, Lass o’ Lowries (1877) tells of working-class life in Manchester.
It was while deciding on the lay-out for her garden at her home in Long Island that Frances conceived and wrote The Secret Garden (1911), probably her best and most enduring work. In it the garden acts as a means of health and as a symbol of the growing personality. She continued to write up until her death in 1924, a few weeks short of her seventy-fifth birthday.
