Description

A Little Princess (1905), is a children's novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. It is an expanded version of the short story "Sara Crewe: or, What Happened at Miss Minchin's", which was serialized in St Nicholas Magazine from December 1887. According to Burnett, after she composed the 1902 play A Little Un-Fairy Princess based on that story, her publisher asked that she expand the story as a novel with ''the things and people that had been left out before.'' The novel was published by Charles Scribner's Sons (also the publisher of St. Nicholas) with illustrations by Ethel Franklin Betts. Its full title was A Little Princess: Being the Whole Story of Sara Crewe Now Being Told for the First Time. DA 

Based on a 2007 online poll, the National Education Association named the book one of its Teachers' Top 100 Books for Children. It was one of the Top 100 Chapter Books of all time in a 2012 poll by School Library Journal.
