Notes
Clover Moon lives in Cripps Alley, a grimy backstreet of Victorian London, with six younger siblings, her weary father and his sharp-tongued, uncaring second wife. Devoted to her sister Megs, sparkly and imaginative Clover is quick to learn her letters and loves to get a chance to paint and draw. But, despite her talents, she is condemned to a life as a household skivvy. Then a chance meeting with an artist gives her an inspiring glimpse of another worlds -- and an idea of how she might find it.
