About the Author
Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924) was born and grew up in Manchester, but after her father's death she emigrated with her mother to Knoxville, Tennessee, in 1865. Five years later her mother died and – like many other women of her time – she began writing short stories for popular magazines to support her family. Her first novel, That Lass o' Lowrie's (1877), brought her instant fame on both sides of the Atlantic.
She married in 1873, and in 1886 her popular children's serial Little Lord Fauntleroy was published to instant success. Mrs. Burnett wrote many other novels, for both children and adults, as well as plays and short stories, but she is best remembered for the classic children's novels The Secret Garden (1911) and A Little Princess (1905).
She became an American citizen in 1905, though she travelled frequently to Europe. She died at her home on Long Island a few weeks before her seventy-fifth birthday.
From the Hardcover edition.

Not Dumbed Down,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Little Princess (A Stepping Stone Book) (Paperback)
This was the first Stepping Stone adaption I read. I was very impressed. The leagal conatations of what Sara faces money wise are not toned down. Most of the events are here, and in the right order. This book has 20 chapters and no pictures. Might be too hard for some readers because of that fact. Those readers might prefer the original novel, hardcover, illastrated by Tasha Tudor.

Great version,

This review is from: A Little Princess (A Stepping Stone Book) (Paperback)
I bought this as part of a Christmas present. The original was may favorite book growing up. I bought it for a 5yr old and a 3yr old (mostly for the 5yr old). I bought this, the original and the movie and made a gift set. They loved this version. The 5yr old read it to the 3yr old and they both enjoyed it. Easy to read and understand while still keeping true to the story.
