"Hetty Gray" is the story of a girl who, having been found as an
infant by a villager, is brought up by his wife, and is a kind of
general pet, till an accident causes a rich widow to adopt her. On
the death of her adoptive mother Hetty, who is left unprovided for,
is taken by the widow's relatives to be educated with a view to her
gaining her livelihood as a governess, an event which is prevented by
a rather remarkable discovery.
"A pleasantly told story for girls, with a happy
ending."--_Athenaeum._
"A charming story for young folks. Hetty is a delightful
creature--piquant, tender, and true--and her varying fortunes are
perfectly realistic."--_World._
