A LITTLE PRINCES: review


Source: Google


Summery:
Sara Crewe, an exceptionally intelligent and imaginative student at Miss Minchin's Select Seminary for Young Ladies, is devastated when her adored, indulgent father dies. Now penniless and banished to a room in the attic, Sara is demeaned, abused, and forced to work as a servant. How this resourceful girl's fortunes change again is at the center of A Little Princess, one of the best-loved stories in all of children's literature.

This unique and fully annotated edition appends excerpts from Frances Hodgson Burnett's original 1888 novella Sara Crewe and the stage play that preceded the novel, as well as an early story, "Behind the White Brick," allowing readers to see how A Little Princess evolved. In his delightful introduction, U. C. Knoepflmacher considers the fairy-tale allusions and literary touchstones that place the book among the major works of Victorian literature, and shows it to be an exceptionally rich and resonant novel.

My thought:

‘A little princes’ is written by Frances Hodgson Burnet. He has written a great story which is suitable for teenagers. The story consists of conversion from a rich princess to an orphan beggar. In the first half, while at school, she was treated  as a princess, but when the truth revealed she  lived in a prison as if it was a Bastille...  Some of the scenes were comic, but it was joyful. A  slight mystery situation had happened and the truth was exploded to the audience. I appreciate the writing of Frances. I would recommend it to all.

In the novel, Sara Crew the main character who is a small and very imaginative who tells stories to her friends of her own creation. The description of Sara Crew in the novel depicts that she is a small, delicate, creative minded and a humbled one. Other characters  also played specified roles.  It was a good one...

I would recommend it to teenagers and gladly give four out of five stars.

My thoughts:

Beneath is a short story from 'Times Lost Atlas'. It has little thriller and suspense to balance the story. The author’s writing style is simple, easy to guess yet attention seeking. According to me the story is okay, but it could have been much better if more mystery was added. I would give it three stars out of five.
