Ten Girls from Dickens

“People wouldn’t believe the attendance was good if they saw how small I was,” says the little servant girl. But Richard Swiveller soon discovers what the Brasses don’t want him to see.

In a shabby London house where the solicitor’s office shares space with the family’s home, the Marchioness cooks, cleans, and waits on every ringing bell. Kate Dickinson Sweetser brings this Dickens girl and nine others into focus, offering young readers a fresh way into the lives and trials of his memorable female characters. The Marchioness is hungry, lonely, and treated cruelly; Dick, usually more merry than useful, can no longer ignore her misery. How will he help a child who has learned to ask for so little?
