โSara Creweโ was originally a short story, serialized in a childrenโs magazine. Its popularity led the author to expand it into an equally successful stage play, and from there it became this full-length novel. Much like Burnettโs later childrenโs book The Secret Garden, dramatic events and sharply-defined characters give A Little Princess the qualities of a modern fairy tale.
