Description : 'What's a baby farm?" said Barty. Amy poked her face close to his and said in a pretended threat, 'A place where they put children nobody wants. Barty laughed, but Laura could not make light of it. "Are their parents dead?" "Their parents are paupers, miss," said the village girl and went back to the scullery as if that were an end to it. Despite all the mysterious secrets and evasions, Laura knew that the children living next door to her aunt's house were starving - they scurrled like rats in the barn and stole pigswill. But none of the grown-ups wanted to know or cared about the pauper 'children. They came from a different parish and were therefore no concern of theirs. So Laura tried to help by herself... until tragedy struck. This story Kalt notorious Victorian children's school for workhouse children - Drouet's Academy - is based on fact. Its brutal and disgraceful conditions were later exposed by Charles Dickens. +++++ 'Entering the very bloodstream of childhood, Schlee observes and feels with a child's eye' -- Jamila Gavin
