Books with title Florence Nightingale To Her Nurses

A short, large print storybook, designed for children telling the story of Florence Nightingale. As she was born into a wealthy family, Florence Nightingale was expected to marry and live a life of luxury, but Florence believed God's plan for her was caring for others. After volunteering to nurse wounded soldiers during the Crimean War, Florence became known as 'The Lady of the Lamp' and became famous in changing nursing and hospitals forever. People today are still inspired by her for her kindness, courage, compassion and moral duty and drive to make changes in how the sick and needy are cared for.

The name of Florence Nightingale is a household word, but the exact nature and scope of her work, and the difficulties and discouragement under which it was accomplished, are unknown to many in the present generation. This story of that justly beloved woman's life is told by one whose father was in part responsible for Miss Nightingale's decision to devote her life to nursing. Written with a rare sympathy and beauty of style, this uplifting account of a noble life will inspire young and old alike.
