Product Description

Following Sterling's spectacularly successful launch of its children's classic novels (240,000 books in print to date),comes a dazzling new series: Classic Starts. The stories are abridged; the quality is complete. Classic Starts treats the world's beloved tales (and children) with the respect they deserve--all at an incomparable price.

Poor Sara Crewe. Once upon a time her beloved father pampered and adored her. But ever since he died, leaving her alone and penniless, she's been caught in the cruel clutches of Miss Minchin, the headmistress at the Select Seminary for Young Ladies, where Sara once studied. But no matter how terrible things get, Sara always has her imagination and goodness of heart to carry her through. This timeless tale of a poor orphan has won children's hearts for a century--and continues to be a favorite.

The Classic Starts Series is the Best!5
I have not read this book yet, but I will comment on the Classic Starts series as a whole. I am on my seventh Classic Starts book as a bedtime read aloud to my eight year old and I purchased this one to try with my five year old daughter. This abridged series has captured my son's attention beyond my wildest dreams. It is so exciting to read Swiss Family Robinson, Robin Hood, or Robinson Crusoe and have him beg for "one more chapter, pleeeease!" The series does a great job of simplifying the stories just enough for easier comprehension, without over-simplifying and "dumbing down". Thanks to Classic Starts my son has a passion for the classics and has now asked for the unabridged versions to see if he has missed anything!

good intro to a great classic5
A child of about 8 or 10 will enjoy reading this abbreviated version of this wounderful classic. I wish the illustrations were more colorful.
