Description

Margaret Leighton’s illustrated biography follows Florence Nightingale’s early compassion for people and animals and the determination that led her to a life of nursing and public service. Written for younger readers, it introduces the woman whose work during the Crimean War helped change the care of the sick and wounded.

Part of Grosset & Dunlap’s Signature Books series, this volume features black-and-white illustrations by Corinne Boyd Dillon and illustrated endpapers depicting important events in Nightingale’s life. The colorful pictorial binding shows a young Florence tending an injured shepherd’s dog, with the complete cover artwork printed directly on the book itself.

A beautifully illustrated vintage biography celebrating compassion, independence, and a woman’s commitment to meaningful work. This near-fine copy retains a tight binding and an unmarked interior.
