Les Miserables — Pauline Francis

In this retelling of Victor Hugo's classic novel for younger readers, Jean Valjean is released from prison after serving 19 years for stealing a loaf of bread. He tries to make a new life for himself, but while staying at the house of the Bishop of Digne, Valjean steals his silver. The Bishop tells the police he had given the silver to Jean as a present, and this act of Christian charity transforms Jean's life.
