I hope anybody reading this enjoys it, and it gives them something to do when you're bored. This story is based at the start of the 1900's when foundling hospitals were starting to have a new purpose. Their purpose was to "educate and maintain exposed and deserted young children" However, it is believed that they ill-treated children, not giving them enough to eat, and over-working them. The foundling hospital was founded by Thomas Coram, it is now an adoption centre. The character in this book 'Pammy' is one of those poor foundling children at those times, and this is her story.
