This is a beautifully written story; any age can read it. A wonderfully mannered English girl lives in India with her father. He buys her the most wonderful thing. She is sent off to a boarding school were eyes approach with awe; but soon after her father dies and she is badly treated. This book has more than a moral; it's more than a story.--Submitted by Lauren.

My favorite book as a little girl!
i do agree that the movie was a sub-standard remake of a classic book, as it left out so many major factors, it could have been a by far better movie! i use to read this book with an unhealthy appetite! my copy became dog-eared, and this book allowed me to start looking to use my imagination as a little girl, i became known as a day dreamer! lol. I will encourage any little girl to read it, it will always be an all time favorite for me!

Master's Thesis
I don't think any filmed version has come close to the greatness of this book. In fact, I've wondered why the films weren't truer to the book, which could be filmed practically excatly as written, it is so exultantly cinematic. I've read it more than ten times since I was a child, and it holds new wonder for me each time. It's been an influence in my own writings more than I'd guessed. By the way, the edition with illustrations by Ethel Franklin Bettes is by far the best -- they are wonderfully evocative paintings, particularly the one of Sarah looking out at the birds. It really is my very favorite book. The movies -- bah!
