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.

Titus Salt
Titus Salt was a manufacturer, policitician and philanthropist in Victorian England.
