OverviewIn the first place, Miss Minchin lived in London. Her home was a large, dull, tall one, in a large, dull square, where all the houses were alike, and all the sparrows were alike, and where all the door-knockers made the same heavy sound, and on still days-and nearly all the days were still-seemed to resound through the entire row in which the knock was knocked. On Miss Minchin's door there was a brass plate. On the brass plate there was inscribed in black letters, MISS MINCHIN'SSELECT SEMINARY FOR YOUNG LADIESLittle Sara Crewe never went in or out of the house without reading that door-plate and reflecting upon it. By the time she was twelve, she had decided that all her trouble arose because, in the first place, she was not Select, and in the second she was not a Young Lady. When she was eight years old, she had been brought to Miss Minchin as a pupil, and left with her. Her papa had brought her all the way from India. Her mamma had died when she was a baby, and her papa had kept her with him as long as he could. And then, finding the hot climate was making her very delicate, he had brought her to England and left her with Miss Minchin, to be part of the Select Seminary for Young Ladies Full Product DetailsAuthor: Frances Hodgson BurnettPublisher: Independently Published Imprint: Independently Published Dimensions: Width: 15.20cm , Height: 0.20cm , Length: 22.90cm Weight: 0.064kg ISBN: 9798608841217Pages: 34 Publication Date: 13 February 2020 Audience: Children/juvenile , Children / Juvenile Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Temporarily unavailable The supplier advises that this item is temporarily unavailable.
