'The true story of Constance aged 10 and Elizabeth aged 12, the only two female children transported to NSW as convicts. Slaves in Mauritius, they were convicted of attempted murder, but the tragic incident never would have happened if only they had been able to read.The book tells of life aboard the small trading vessel, Dart, their sojourn in the convict Female Factory until their assignment as needlewomen to two fashionable young ladies; and their saucy efforts to watch the Governor's ball.'
