Scott created these drawings in scratchboard ­ an engraving medium which evokes the look of popular art from the period of these stories. Scratchboard is an illustration board with a specifically prepared surface of hard white chalk. A thin layer of black ink is rolled over the surface, and lines are drawn by hand with a sharp knife by scraping through the ink layer to expose the white surface underneath. The finished drawings are then scanned and the color is added digitally.

As the popularity of the recent Lemony Snicket books proves, children never get tired of reading about orphans and their misfortunes. So Frances Hodgson Burnett’s 1905 story about a pampered little rich girl who suddenly finds herself poor and fatherless should continue to entice generations of fans.

Young Sara Crewe, adored only child of a rich, indulgent father, arrives at Miss Minchin's Seminary for Young Ladies in a flurry of silks and satins. The envy of the pupils, who spitefully call her "the little princess," she lives a life of luxury until her father dies and the unscrupulous Miss Minchin reduces the girl to rags and relegates her to the attic. Thrown back on her own resources, and especially to her powerful imagination, Sara demonstrates that purity of spirit can overcome material poverty, displaying the nobility of a real princess throughout her travail. The tale of how Sara's fortunes change again, as if by magic, to bless her with untold wealth and a new family has entranced generations of children since 1905.]]> 1905 5 9 false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1994 Thu Apr 24 14:18:39 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 24 15:38:59 -0700 2008 more...]]> 9817445 653434 3008 0142437018 9780142437018 591 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1161888563m/3008.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1161888563s/3008.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3008.A_Little_Princess 4.21 13801 A Little Princess, one of the best-loved stories in all of children's literature.
