It has only to do with what you think of and what you do.” Motherless Sara Crewe has always been given everything by her father: love, attention, and all the dresses, dolls, and books a little girl could want. Most of all, he gave her a vivid imagination, a love of stories, and a strong belief in always doing the right thing. After having enrolled her in an expensive boarding school, her father’s death leaves her at the tender mercies of the cruel headmistress who demands a lifetime of servitude.
