Annie by Margaret Nash

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.
Margaret 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.
