The little protagonist, the British girl Sarah Crewe, had just given birth to her mother who died, and her father, Captain Crew, who was very wealthy in India. She had previously lived in India, and when she was seven years old, she was sent back to London by her father to boarding at an aristocratic girls' school run by Ms. Mingqing. When she first entered school, she was treated like a little princess. Sarah is particularly fond of fantasies. But then, on her birthday, there was bad news - Sarah's father had gone bankrupt. Suddenly, Ms. Mingqing's attitude towards her changed completely. Instead, she felt that she had become a burden to herself, and turned her from a "little princess" into a lowly maid, rushing from the beautiful room to the cold and simple attic to live. But when her life was difficult, she still did not forget to help others. Although Sarah suffered a change, she could only secretly miss her father, but in the most difficult time she always lived strong, neither humble nor arrogant, and she was in love with her female partner Becky who lived the same life and supported each other. In the end, it turned out that her father had left a large inheritance after his death, and his friend had finally found her after many setbacks. Sarah was suddenly a "little princess" again and was taken away, much to the annoyance of Ms. Mingqing. This book not only depicts Sarah who is kind-hearted and not afraid of hardship, which makes people feel sympathy and admiration for her, but also makes a vivid satire on the snob like Ms. Mingqing.
