Ten-year-old Sarah Crue lives life like a princess until tragedy strikes, taking away her fine clothes and privileges. Without her velvet and silk and French maids, she's no longer the envy of all the girls at Miss Minchin's London boarding school, and even has to live in the school's attic, working for the students who were once her friends. Will Sarah's spirit remain unbowed? Follow her through her trials and triumphs in this unforgettable tale beloved by children the world over.

Editorial reviews

Sara Crewe had a privileged life until her father died, and she went from princess to pauper. Listeners will experience the drastic changes in Sara's life as narrator Virginia Leishman captures the treatment she receives from those around her before and after she becomes penniless. Particularly nasty is schoolmistress Miss Minchin, whose voice drips with contempt. Sara herself acts and sounds like a real princess particularly when she gives up her precious hot buns to a cold, homeless child. Leishman's delivery changes yet again as Sara's fortunes are altered for the better. Listeners will be enriched by this riches to rags, and then back to riches, story.

Critic reviews

I loved the movie of this book is a kid, and now going back to read it as an adult it was just as good of a story as I remembered. The narration was perfectly tailored for the story, and the characterization improved on the experience

I love the story but whoever sorts/ labels chapters should be fired- it was a frustrating mess! I read this as a young girl and appreciated the story in a totally different way now. The narrator was lovely too, but I hated how there would be 4+ book chapters per audible chapter, and the audible chapter would end mid chapter, even sentence! I like to set the sleep timer for a chapter at a time, but this was terrible and really detracted from my overall happiness with this recording.

great story, but chapters are all screwed up

I love this book! Sara Crew is a nice girl who is never changed by those around her or what she endures. She has great character and a great example to stay true to ourselves and not worry about what others think.
