Product Description

Spirited Hannah Francis' singing brightens the days of those around her in the workhouse. Even when she is separated from her mother and forced to travel to Derbyshire with three other children to work long hours in a cotton mill, Hannah is undaunted.

Life for the pauper apprentices is arduous and dangerous, their daily routine harsh and demanding, but friendships are forged and an innocent love starts to blossom. But can such a fragile love survive the cruel realities? And what of Edmund Critchlow, the man who owns them all, body and soul? The man from whom no pretty mill girl is safe.

Pauper's Gold 10 Jan 2009
Format:Paperback
Hannah Francis and her mother are forced to move in to the workhouse. Even though it is a bleak existence for Hannah and her mother, Hannah cheers everyone up with her beautiful singing voice. Hannah has always tried to see the best in everything, and in everyone. When Hannah is 12 years old, she is sent to work in the nearby mill with three other children. The hours are long, and the work is extremely dangerous. The owner of the Mill is a tyrant, and has an eye for the young lasses. This is a story of triumph and determination. Hannah was not born in the lap of luxury, and has had to struggle everyday of her young life. But Hannah will not let that stop her from making something of her life, and helping those around her also succeed in life. This is a wonderful heartwarming story of the struggles and accomplishments of those who are determined to make something of their lives. This is Margaret Dickinson at her best!

After reading my first Margaret Dickinson book a few years ago I caught the bug & had to buy them all. This is another great addition to her list of titles & as she produces more books they get ever better. I could not put it down.
