but some know this author, Frances Hodgson Burnett as having penned “The Secret Garden.” Either way, this charming, critically acclaimed family favorite will lead you into the magical fantasy world of Sarah Crewe, a 10-year-old free-spirited young girl. Crewe is left in a respected New York City boarding school while her British father heads overseas to fight. Filled with wild stories and a playful attitude, the unconventional Sara becomes popular amongst her classmates but quickly comes into conflict with the harsh headmistress, Miss Minchin, who attempts to squash the child's individuality. The young girl's situation takes a serious turn for the worse when she unexpectedly receives word of her father's death, and, suddenly impoverished, is forced into life as a servant. Treated as a lesser class of person by her former companions, Sara instead befriends her fellow servants and turns to the power of imagination in order to maintain hope for the future. Known as one of the best family-oriented productions of its time, this riches-to-rags fable engages lush, imaginative fantasy sequences.
