A short life of Florence Nightingale for young readers: the comfortable English childhood, the sense of purpose that took her into nursing when it was not thought a respectable profession for a woman of her class, the hospital at Scutari during the Crimean War, the lamp she carried on her night rounds through the wards, and the reform of army hospitals and of nursing that grew out of the war. The book takes its name from what the soldiers called her.
