A Little Princess of Tonopah is a children’s book written by Aileen Cleveland Higgins. The story is set in Tonopah, a small mining town in Nevada, and follows the adventures of a young girl named Molly. Molly’s father is a miner who has recently struck it rich, and as a result, Molly is sent to a fancy boarding school in San Francisco. However, when Molly’s father dies, she is left penniless and must return to Tonopah to live with her aunt and uncle. Molly struggles to adjust to her new life, but with the help of her friends and her own determination, she learns to find joy in the simple things in life. The book is a heartwarming tale of perseverance, friendship, and the power of a positive attitude. It is a timeless classic that has been beloved by generations of children.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.
