Description:
A LITTLE PRINCESS is the timeless classic about Sara Crewe, daughter of a wealthy father, who is brought from India to a boarding school in England. There, due to her father`s wealth, she is treated like royalty--until her father suddenly dies, and she is left penniless. She is soon treated like a scullery maid, and forced to live in a cold garret. Keeping her courage and never bitter, Sara is rescued and reinstated in riches by a long-lost friend of her father`s. THE SECRET GARDEN is a story about spoiled 9-year-old Mary Lennox, who finds herself suddenly orphaned and sent to live with her self-absorbed uncle on his huge estate in Yorkshire. She meets the cheerful Dickon, a boy who can charm wild animals, and Colin, the invalid son of her uncle, who is just as spoiled as Mary. After Mary discovers a walled garden that had not been taken care of for 10 years, the children immerse themselves in tending it, and through the joy of nurturing living things, grow in health and good spirits themselves.
