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.
