Wonder

A Little Princess

by Frances Hodgson Burnett

A wealthy girl is orphaned and reduced to servitude in the very boarding school that once fawned over her fortune, and refuses, throughout, to let poverty diminish her manners or her imagination. Burnett believed dignity was a choice available regardless of circumstance, and builds the whole plot to prove it. Her attic room somehow becomes warmer than everyone else’s parlour.
