About This Novel
The classic work of Mrs. F. H. Burnett, the world-famous children's literature writer, has been adapted into movies many times. It once starred the famous child star Shirley Temple and was rated as one of the best children's films in the 1990s. Sarah Crewe is a strong and precocious girl who is sent to boarding school in London. Because her father, Captain Crewe, is very rich, Miss Qin, the principal of the boarding school, regards her as a "model student" in the school. At Sarah's eleventh birthday party, she was shocked to learn that her father had died in India and had not left her a penny. Sarah's princess world collapsed and she became a homeless orphan. Seeing that she could not get any benefit from Sarah, the snobbish Miss Minchin sent her to work as a little coolie. In difficult circumstances, Sarah always held on to her fantasy of life, and remained graceful, tolerant and loving in the face of poverty and humiliation. With the help of the Indian uncle who lived next door, she finally made her dream come true. Not only did she overcome her own difficulties, but she also helped the poor friends around her.
