This is a romantic drama novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett . Jose was a poor hardworking labour , who lived with his aged grandmother and sister Pepita . José fell into the way of planning to escape from all this, and make another home for himself and his pretty child-sister and the old woman. He knew there was only one way to do it: if he could carry his one gift where it would be of more use to him than it could possibly be in a poor small village; if he could carry it to a market where there were more people and where work was better paid for.
