Special Fields
 DescriptionPresented in a story form, this book tells the story of a young Victorian girl working in a mill. Suitable for the National Curriculum at Key Stage 2, it gives a good feel for the period and the place, and gives an insight into the life of child workers in the mills of Victorian Britain - how they were treated and the dangers inherent in the job. Author descriptionMargaret Nash grew up in the industrial West Riding of Yorkshire, and, as a child, was always fascinated by a sense of place, whether in the mill or on the moors. She has worked as a children's librarian in London and the home counties, has two grown-up sons, and now lives in rural Bedfordshire with a lazy lovable cat. |
