Florence Nightingale

History knows her now as "the lady with the lamp." Night after night she walked among the cots of wounded soldiers, carrying her kerosene lamp ready to assist any way she could. Up until Florence's time, the hospitals in England were a disgrace. Could she better the conditions? This is the engaging biography of Florence Nightingale, the nurse who always remembered the entry she made into her diary as a young girl: "God spoke to me and called me to His service." 139 pages, paperback, 5 1/4"x8 1/4". Ages 10 and up.
