About this listen
Sara Crewe is the brightest, richest, and most generous girl in Miss Minchin’s school for girls, and her father gives her everything she might desire. But when her beloved father dies, Sara’s friends and prized possessions are suddenly taken away, and she is banished to the attic and forced to work as a common drudge. Fed only crumbs, she still saves enough to feed her pet rat, and she tells wonderful stories to comfort Becky, the kitchen maid. Using her special ability to play make-believe, she transforms her hardships into an unforgettable adventure. And soon, even her wildest wishes begin to come true, as her real identity is revealed once and for all.
This touching classic has been a favorite with generations of children and adults who have delighted in Sara’s happiness, wept over her sorrows, and perhaps shared her need: to be recognized as someone unique and special.
Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849 -1924) was an English-born author of romances and books for children. After moving to America in 1865, she established a popular reputation with the publication of That Lass o’ Lowrie’s in 1877. She is best known for such novels as Little Lord Fauntleroy, The Little Princess, and The Secret Garden.

Great narrator & story.
Really enjoyed the narration and story. Only critique: Narrator/chapter skips 2-3 times in random places throughout the book.

way better than the movie
I needed a story for my 6 year old and I too listen to and I used to love this movie. Though the movie is good, the book far outweighs it and the narration was excellent. 6 year old was captivated.

Slight background noise
Beautiful story and well delivered by the narrator.
Unfortunately, there is some kind of background noise or talking echo that can be distracting at times.
