A Little Princess




Celebrate International Women's Day with the original Sisterhood classics - independent, irrepressible, unforgettable! - with an introduction from writer and feminist activist Scarlett Curtis

Alone in a new country, wealthy Sara Crewe tries to make friends at boarding school and settle in.

But when she learns that she'll never see her beloved father again, her life is turned upside down. Transformed from princess to pauper, she must swap dancing lessons and luxury for drudgery and a room in the attic. Will she find that kindness and generosity are all the riches she truly needs?

A Little Princess is one The Sisterhood, a collection of six unforgettable Puffin Classics, brought together for International Women's Day in a stunning set in celebration of some of the most iconic female writers of the 19th and early 20th centuries.
