What is the book A Little Princess about?
It is about Sara Crewe who is sent to a boarding school in London; her wealthy father dies whilst she's there and she becomes a pauper overnight, but she never loses her princess like demeanor. 
Seems like a difficult loss for Sara. What strikes you most about the book?
Well its the character of Sara. Is she too good to be real? I mean, when she was starving herself and she found the penny in the streets, she gave 5 of her 6 buns to another beggar, because she was even hungrier than she was. Would a real person do that?
Yeah that is a pretty selfless act. The first edition of the book was printed in 1905, that's a long time ago. Does the story still hold up today?
Well I think the spirit does, obviously the setting today is quite different. Do you think Burnett was inspired by a real character when she created Sara?
Maybe. The book was adapted a short story called "What Happened at Miss Minchins". That could be inspired by a real character...
I wonder how many television adaptations of the book there have been since it was first published.
There was a movie made for kids who love drama. There might be other adaptations, too.
Who starred as Sara in the Wonderworks version of A Little Princess?
