Annie: The Story of a Victorian Mill Girl

This story – set in Victorian times – is about Annie, who has a job at a mill in the mornings before she goes to school. The story gives a good feel for the period and the place, glances into homes and schools, and gives a strong insight into the life of child workers in the mills of Victorian Britain – how they were treated and the dangers inherent in the job. A strong theme is the reform movement, and there is an appearance by the great mill owner and reformer Titus Salt.
