A Little Princess, by Frances Hodgson Burnett

A Little Princess is a 1904 childrens novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. It is a revised and expanded version of Burnetts 1888 serialized novel entitled Sara Crewe: or, What happened at Miss Minchins boarding school, which was published in St. Nicholas Magazine.

According to Burnett, she discovered that she had missed out a great deal of things when writing the novella. She had been composing a play based on the story when she found out a lot of characters she had missed. The publisher asked her to publish a new, revised story of the novella, producing the novel.
