This is a sweet story about an old seaman raising a passionate little girl, whom he rescued as a baby when she was the only survivor of a particularly nasty shipwreck. It's an easy read at only 133 pages.
I enjoyed it because of the 19th century writing style, but found it rather similar to many books from that era. If only they weren't all about beautiful but spoiled heroines with tragic stories. Still, it's a good read.

This book is phenomenal. I haven't read it since I was in elementary school but I used to reread the ending every night before I went to bed. I love the accents, I love the beauty of the writing, I love how it still breaks my heart to finish it.
