Summary

A Little Princess is a children's novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. A Little Princess opens with seven-year-old Sara Crewe and her father, Captain Crewe, arriving at Miss Minchin's boarding school for girls in London. Captain Crewe is very wealthy and states that Sara is destined for a lavish, comfortable future. Despite being pampered all her life in India, Sara herself is very intelligent, polite, and creative. Headmistress Miss Minchin is secretly jealous and dislikes Sara for her cleverness, but openly praises and flatters her because of her father's wealth. Before departing for India, Captain Crewe purchases Sara an elegant wardrobe and a doll whom Sara adores and names "Emily." Sara's friendliness and love for pretending and storytelling makes her popular with most of the school's students.

    The enigma’s origins can be traced back to a specific date or event, one that set into motion a series of actions and reactions that would change the course of history. The disappearance seemed to defy all logic, prompting countless theories, speculations, and investigations. What made it even more baffling was the lack of any solid leads or clear explanation. The initial shockwave reverberated through communities, then nations, and eventually captured the attention of the international media. While some were quick to dismiss it as a simple case of human error or an unfortunate accident, others, with a more skeptical mindset, began to delve into deeper, darker possibilities. 
    The world began to wonder: Was there something more to this disappearance than met the eye? Could it be that the vanishing was part of something far grander—an elaborate scheme, a well-organized plot, or a conspiracy of sorts? As the days stretched into weeks, weeks into months, and even years, the mystery seemed to grow deeper, defying all attempts at resolution. Various experts, investigators, and amateurs alike joined the search, each bringing their own theories, each finding new clues that led them down different paths. Yet, despite the global effort, the answers remained elusive.
