In 1905, children's author Frances Burnett (1849–1924) wrote a remarkable story about an extraordinary girl, Sara Crewe. Sara was born in India, a land of unimaginable wealth and magic. She lived like a true princess, in luxury, surrounded by care and love. And, as befits a princess, even in the darkest times, Sara retained a kind heart and faith in miracles, which helped her bravely endure all adversity. The girl's pure, bright soul, her ability to love and compassion created true magic and changed Sara's life for the better.
