add recEvents of tragedy and poverty are experienced in the main character of the two titles. Les Miserables and Little Princess Sara go from a stable lifestyle to a very poor one. The setting is taken place years before now and in a seemingly "English" setting. I'm sure the story, events, and the personality of the protagonists will give off a similar feel.

add rec"Little Women" and "Little Princess Sara" both tell the stories of young girls who Life obliges to grow up fast and show their real strength of character in order to face the hard times.
The stories take place in the same social background of the 19th century. As a matter of fact, both anime are very precise adaptations of the novels "Little Women" (1868) by Louisa May Alcott and "A Little Princess" (1888) by Frances Hodgson Burnett.
Btw, if I may, I also strongly recommend the books, although the anime are brilliantly adapted :)
