A Little Princess (1973) is a BBC television mini-series directed by Derek Martinus, based upon the 1905 novel A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. This version is noted for being very faithful to the original novel. It ran on the Sunday tea-time slot, where at the time the BBC often ran faithful adaptations of classic novels.

It was originally broadcast in six 25-minute episodes on BBC 1, 18 February to 25 March 1973. It was also licensed for distribution by 20th Century-Fox Television, for use on ABC affiliates in the United States.[1] [2]

The series is not currently available but it has not been wiped or lost; it's archived at the British Film Institute.[3]
