Review Summary and Plot Commentary about The Little Princess
Wealthy Sarah Crewe is sent to an English boarding school when her father goes to war. When he is reported killed in action, she is turned into a servant by the vindictive headmistress. Sarah tries to adjust to her new role as a servant, and befriends the other young maid at the school. She also tries to find her father at a nearby army hospital, believing that he is still alive.
