Not in any way a [[Distaff Counterpart]] to ''[[The Little Prince]]'', though there's a paper to be written on that topic...

* [[Adaptation Expansion]]: The World Masterpiece Theater anime adaptation, ''[[Shokojo Sera]]'' (A Little Princess Sara), which expands the story to 46 episodes, and adds several new incidents and characters. This adaptation is well known both for being a [[Tear Jerker]], and for carpet-bombing the viewer with one [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] after another at the finale.
** The writing of ''[[A Little Princess]]'' is, itself, a tale of [[Adaptation Expansion]]. It began life as a novella named "Sara Crewe", but the author felt that the story was incomplete, so it was first expanded into a play, "A Little Un-fairy Princess", and finally into the novel we all know and love. Many of the novel's memorable characters, such as [[Book Dumb|Ermengarde]], Lottie, [[Girl Friday|Becky]] and [[Alpha Bitch|Lavinia]], were first seen in the play. Reading the three side by side is a fascinating, first-hand look, at how this trope works.
