Complete and unabridged, with 45 full-page plates by William Orpen, Spencer Gore and Robert Bevan. A girl taken into a household as a companion turns out to hold more of its future than anyone expected. Le Feuvre wrote for the Religious Tract Society and sold in the hundreds of thousands; her stories are plainly told and never sentimental about children. This edition binds 45 plates after painters including Myles Birket Foster, Spencer Gore and John Lavery, alongside 14 illustrations restored and coloured for the text.
