Silas Marner by George Eliot

ISBN 1 903552 15 X

Silas Marner, a linen-weaver, works alone on his cottage loom. His earnings exceed his simple needs and by candlelight he bathes his hands in gold.

The desolation of returning one night to find his gold stolen is only relieved a few weeks later when, in the fire-light, his short-sighted eyes discern gold lying beside the hearth: the golden ringlets of a young child deserted by her mother.

But will Silas find happiness with the child?
