I have my grandmother's tattered copy printed in 1890-something and I remember poring over the detailed engravings in the book as a kid. I loved the story and the way in which Sara used her imagination to hep her cope with the sadness and cruelty she encountered. As an adult, I read the longer version that Burnett cranked out later, A Little Princess," and I didn't think that it had the same punch as the original did. This version is no longer under copyright and you can read it for free as a digital version on the Kindle and suchlike. The movie, with Shirley Temple, is an abomination and the newer remake isn't much better.
