Synopsis

Sarah Crewe is treated like a princess at Miss Minchin’s boarding school—until her father dies, leaving her peniless. Now she must struggle as a servant to evil Miss Minchin, but the intellgent, kind-hearted girl never loses hope. From her garrett, she soon makes friends and finds incredible adventures. And good will and imagination ultimately triumph by this book’s glorious ending. This beloved classic has been continuously in publication since 1905. Experienced Shakespearean actress Wanda McCaddon captures all the drama of Sarah Crewe’s adventures as well as the accents of Miss Minchin, the scullery maid, and Sarah herself.

"She liked books more than anything else, and was, in fact, always inventing stories of beautiful things and telling them to herself." This book tells the story of a seven year old girl, Sara, whose father got posted in a faraway place and she had to stay in a seminary. And this is the best descriptio......more
