This edition of Nobody's Girl, a classic novel by Hector Malot,
contains the original illustrations from the translation by
Florence Crewe-Jones. We follow the story of a young orphan named
Perinne, who - despite poverty and misfortune - maintains her
nature as a motivated, moral and resourceful young girl. Only
through her wit and intelligence is Perinne able to escape the
grim, oppressive working conditions of her friends inside the
industrialised city. However, rather than simply leave her friends
behind Perinne uses her influential personality to persuade a
factory owner to better his employees' conditions and rights as
workers. He assents to her requests, and this event makes the
daring Perinne something of a hero in the community. The later part
of the book chronicles Perinne's search for her lost family, a
quest which is as exciting as it is suspenseful as we wonder: will
the bold youngster discover her long lost relatives?
