But given the vastly divergent natures of the protagonists of the novels, the goals, and thus outcomes, of these works are in substantial contrast. Like The Secret Garden, A Little Princess'begins with the transplanting of a young girl from India to England with a view of beginning a new life. Curiously, there are a number of shared themes between the two books, but in my mind' A Little Princess'draws more on the tropes of the boarding school genre than it does on that in which The Secret Garden'(as well as books such as Heidi' and Anne of Green Gables ) fallsthe orphaned child in care subgenre, perhaps.
Having thoroughly enjoyed my re-read of The Secret Garden'earlier this year ( see my review), Ive set about acquainting myself with the rest of Frances Hodgson Burnetts work, beginning with her famous A Little Princess.
