Over dit e-boek
A girl raised on a farm as a foundling discovers on her guardian's death that she has no name and no claim to anything, goes to London, and becomes a famous novelist under a pseudonym — and the man she loves does not know either fact.

Fifty-six plates by painters including Stanhope Forbes and Walter Sickert follow the farmyards, evening fields and street scenes that echo the foundling girl's passage from country innocence to London fame.
