An orphaned girl goes to stay with her uncle and revitalises his family’s life
This drama is the second of five screen adaptations of the classic 1911 novel of the same name by Frances Hodgson Burnett, a novel first published after serialization in The American Magazine. The film includes one very good stock shot of an ex-GWR 2301 Class ‘Dean Goods’ 0-6-0 on a short passenger train.
