Nelly May Has Her Say

In Nelly May Has Her Say , based on an English folktale "Master of All Masters," author Cynthia DeFelice and illustrator Henry Cole team up for a fun-filled romp that makes for a great read aloud. Nelly May Nimble and her twelve brothers and sisters live with their parents in a tiny cottage in the Bottoms, where there's never enough food to feed so many hungry mouths. Nelly May decides that she is old enough to earn her keep and takes a job as Lord Ignasius Pinkwinkle's new housekeeper and cook.
