You will never guess how Hop came by his name so here's a brief description of him: The cock-eyed heroine (the author's description, not mine) the unfortunte orphan Kirsten MacGregor, is only 13 when she's sold by a baby farmer to the itinerate tinker, Hop Fuller. If you decide to read this one I suggest you don't do so whilst trying to eat. This particular heroine was subjected to all manners of physical degradation to the point that I couldn't even finish reading it. Catherine Marchant also writes under the name of Catherine Cookson and as I mentioned in my last review of a Cookson book The Solace of Sin I'm really not too fond of her tendency to subject her heroines to utter degradation.
