AlbakiReads Editorial

Imagination in difficult circumstances

At Miss Minchin’s London boarding school, Sara Crewe imagines herself a princess as a way of facing hard times. That detail gives the book its central contrast: the life Sara pictures for herself and the circumstances she must navigate. The supplied description offers little about specific events, but it establishes imagination as a resource in Sara’s experience.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young readers interested in classic fiction
  • Readers interested in boarding-school settings
  • Readers drawn to stories about imagination during hardship

Book overview

A gorgeous hardcover edition of the cherished classic from the author of The Secret Garden. Beautiful cover illustrations by Anna Bond, the artist behind world-renowned stationery brand Rifle Paper Co.

Alone in a new country, wealthy Sara Crewe tries to settle in and make friends at boarding school. But when she learns that she'll never see her beloved father gain, her life is turned upside down. Transformed from princess to pauper, she must swap dancing lessons and luxury for hard work and a room in the attic. Will she find that kindness and genorosity are all the riches she truly needs?
