Review Detail

The focus in the story is on the life of young Sara Crewe.  She is a daughter of wealth thanks to her father's generosity and having such freedoms as money will allow, often times can be found presenting herself with an air of nobility (hence the title).  Growing up without a mother as she had tragically passed away when she was born, her father is everything to her as she is to also to him. 

Upon her 11th birthday, misfortune reaches its hand back into her life, snatching away that remaining connection to which she so fondly held.  Not only is her father now gone, but she is told that the money is nonexistant, thus leaving her in the unfriendly hands of Miss Minchin at her boarding school.  All is not lost to this fair child, even though others would strive to squelch her spirit.  Throughout the worst of times, she keeps her head held high (as any true princess should) and in the end, discovers truths that were kept hidden from her.

Enjoyable for readers of all ages.  Happy reading!
