A Little Princess

I must say this book is simply my favourite.

Maybe it's the way Sara's riches are being described.

Or the way her thoughts are related.

Or the way the way she speaks beautifully old-fashioned.

Or the way India is depicted as an exotic paradise.

Perhaps maybe because it has French in it.

But I believe, most of all, it's because of the way Sara conquers all her hardships.

It's hard to explain how.

Because it's such a lovely book.

I don't feel like lending it to anyone, even if it is not mine in the first place.

And, I absolutely adore the picture on page 59.
