Everybody knows the sad tale of the 'Little Match Girl', but less well known is the story of the girls and women who slaved 14 hours a day in the 19th century match factories. Told from the perspective of a young factory worker, this volume in the 'My Story' series offers a fascinating insight into Victorian child labour.
