This chapter reminded me of the story THE STAR DIPPER in my childhood red book THE ROAD IN STORYLAND. (Copyright 1932) Both little girls have to navigate the dark for drinking water —Cosette is rescued by Jean Valjean, the little girl in my story had her dipper changed from silver to gold to diamonds and “if you look up into the sky some bright, starry night, you will see the dipper still there. When you see it, think about the kind little girl, who was brave enough to go into the dark woods alone.”
