If you want a good cry, the classic novel\u00a0A Little Princess\u00a0<\/em>might do the trick.<\/p>\n

Written by playwright and author\u00a0Frances Hodgson Burnett<\/strong>, her work is one of children’s literature’s most enduring pieces, and never fails to captivate audiences (both kids and adults) up to this day.

The 266-page book encompasses the life story of 7-year-old Sara Crewe<\/strong>, who has been entrusted by his father to a boarding school for girls in London. Her wit and politeness gain her lots of friends, but as the news of Captain Crewe<\/strong>‘s death reach them — along with the perception that their wealth is lost — head mistress Miss Minchin<\/strong> starts to abuse and\u00a0enslave her.<\/p>\n

What follows is an incredible journey of resiliency and retribution, which, as morality tales go, proves to be a good example.<\/p>\n

Though retold numerous times on both the small and big screens, there’s nothing better than feeling the anguish of the real deal.<\/p>\n
