A Little Princess

At first I thought that this book would be a full manga adaptation of a classic, but it turns out that it is the classic story but with manga illustrations. I’m still glad I bought it, as the manga drawings add to the story and makes it more enjoyable to read.

When I saw this book I was instantly excited because this story was a huge part of my childhood.There are a few differences within the written work which is usually the case with books and films, but the story is just as fantastical and inspiring. So happy I bought and it took no time to read because it's quite a small book... I advise all fathers to read this book to their daughters, my days it influenced me so much growing up.

This is a particularly good copy of the book. It was well bound, the print was a good size, there was a prologue, and endpiece, details of further books by the same author, some biographical detail of the author and the circumstances under which is was written, and the illustrations were appropriate.Great story. Very well presented.The story of a rich Victorian child, brought to boarding school in England from India by her father after the death of her mother, is a little sentimental by modern standards, but the lessons of triumphing over hardship, and integrity rewarded are still relevant today. The book is saved from mawkishness by the sad, but realistic, death of her father, unlike the totally infuriating changes made in the American film version of this story.Stick with the written version - it is a great deal more rewarding. Great read.

This is a real good book, however the old english can sometimes be confusing especially for younger readers but it is understandable once you get into it. Sara Crewe loses all her money and has nothing left and you just can't wait to find out what happen's next, the author of the book descibes evrything in very good detail that you can imagine the things that go on in the story. The ending was a bit obvious to me (hence the 4 stars) but the good thing is I kept wanting to know what was going to happen next which is why I kept reading this book.

Loved this book as a child, can't wait to read it now as an adult

Sara Crewe is one of my favourite child bookworms along with Matilda and Hermione. She uses her power of imagination and skill as a storyteller to shape her own world and to face her trails with bravery, dignity and kindness. She is definitely a role model for girls of all times!
