Summary: All's Well that Ends Well
Comment: It is a sweet little book ~~ with a great story to tell. It is about a little girl who is sent to a boarding school in London. She leaves her father and a beloved life in India behind ~~ but endowed with lots of riches, fancy clothes, a beautiful doll and more importantly, with the love of her father. Unspoiled though, Sara comes to London determined to get a good education. And this is just the beginning of the story.
With tragic events that spun out of control, Sara finds herself a penniless orphan one day and at the mercy of her headmistress, she stays ~~ but as an errand girl. With the grace of her imagination, Sara survives.
It is a beautifully-written tale of love and adventure and one little girl's imagination that keeps her entertained and helps her survive poverty ~~ she makes proverty an adventure as she's aware always that there is someone worse off than her.
It is a story for both little boys and girls ~~ moms and dads to read as well. It provides a moral structure but it isn't preachy. It's just a lovely tale of a little girl who really knows what treasure of the heart is.

Summary: "Every girl everywhere is a princess"
Comment: This 1995 movie is based on the classic novel by Frances Burnett, which explores the life of a young girl in the WWI era. In the beginning of the movie, we see Sara as she lives out life in exoctic India. Then her devoted father must leave to join the war. Since her mother is no longer living, he enrols her in an expensive boarding school in New York City. As soon as she arrives one can tell she is not a match for the strict boarding school regimen. The movie continues from there, with Sara's friendlyness & kindness helping her to overcome the difficult times that lie ahead. The actress that portrays Sara, Liesel Matthews, does a remarkable job of storytelling and brings a certain 'magic' to the movie. There have actually been 3 other versions done on film, including one in 1939 starring Shirley Temple. As much as I enjoyed that one, I think this version is the best of the lot.

Summary: There's a better version, true to the book
Comment: While this version of A Little Princess is not necessarily bad, the producers took so many liberties with Frances Hodgson Burnett's novel that people who've read the book may be unable to watch it. The boarding school is in London, not New York, for example, and the addition of songs and fuzzily filmed dancing detracts. If you want the accurate and entertaining version, go for the WonderWorks A Little Princess with Amelia Shankley, Maureen Lipman, Miriam Margolys, and Nigel Havers. I hope you need not be warned away from the Shirley Temple version.
