A Little Princess of Tonopah is a children's book written by Aileen Cleveland Higgins. The story follows the adventures of a little girl named Polly, who lives in the mining town of Tonopah with her father, a miner. Despite their humble circumstances, Polly is a happy and imaginative child who loves to play and make friends with the other children in town.However, Polly's life takes a dramatic turn when her father is injured in a mining accident and can no longer work. With no money to pay for their basic needs, Polly and her father are forced to move into a small, run-down cabin on the outskirts of town. Despite the challenges they face, Polly remains optimistic and determined to make the best of their situation.As Polly navigates the ups and downs of her new life, she discovers the true meaning of friendship, perseverance, and the importance of hope. With the help of her new friends and a kind-hearted teacher, Polly learns to overcome the obstacles in her path and find joy in the simple things in life.A Little Princess of Tonopah is a heartwarming tale that teaches children about the power of resilience and the importance of kindness and compassion. It is a timeless story that will inspire and delight readers of all ages.1909. Cleveland's book is set in a modern mining camp in Nevada, where the motherless heroine goes from a middle west village with her father and begins her adventures. She finds her new home full of color, variety, charm and fun. She finds, too, that sorrow jogs very close to the elbow of joy and it becomes her heart's desire to be an angel of service. Her father does not find a quick path to wealth, but the Little Princess is as buoyant through their trying experiences as at the end when Father Dick finally strikes his ledge. Further adventures of the heroine can be found in A Little Princess of the Pine.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
