Princess Book Novels & Stories

I adore the 'Princess' series—it's one of those gems that feels like a warm hug every time I reread it. If you're looking to buy it online, I’ve had great luck with Book Depository; they offer free worldwide shipping, which is a huge plus if you're outside the US. Amazon also carries both new and used copies, and sometimes you can snag a bargain there. For digital versions, Kindle and Kobo usually have the ebooks ready to download instantly.

If you’re into supporting indie bookstores, check out Bookshop.org—they split profits with local shops, so it’s a win-win. Oh, and don’t forget AbeBooks for rare or out-of-print editions! I once found a signed copy there and nearly screamed. The series is also available on Audible if you prefer audiobooks; the narrator’s voice is so soothing, perfect for bedtime.

The 'Princess Series' has always been one of those collections that feels like it grows every time I blink! Last I checked, there were around 12 main titles, but that’s not counting spin-offs or special editions. The core books follow different princesses, each with their own adventures—some are about diplomacy, others have magic, and a few even dabble in rebellion against classic tropes. I love how the series balances standalone stories with subtle nods to past characters, making it feel like a sprawling universe rather than just a linear sequence.

What’s cool is that the author occasionally releases companion novellas or illustrated versions, so if you’re a completionist, the count might edge closer to 15–18. My personal favorite is the seventh book, where the princess ditches her crown to solve a mystery in a pirate port. It’s such a fun detour from the usual castle settings!

Some parts of 'The Little Princess' stay with you long after you've turned the last page. The main story follows a wealthy girl, Sara Crewe, at an exclusive London boarding school, who loses everything when her father is reported dead and financially ruined. It’s a classic riches-to-rags tale. The headmistress, Miss Minchin, turns Sara into a servant, forcing her to live in a cold attic while the other privileged girls look on.

What grabs me isn't just the unfairness, but Sara’s response. She survives by pretending she’s a princess in a story, using her imagination and kindness as a kind of armor. It’s not about magic making things better, but about dignity in terrible circumstances. The eventual reversal—that her father’s friend has been searching for her and her father is alive—feels like a reward for that inner strength she never let go of.
