About this ebook
Zia, a lonely hunchbacked boy, has known nothing but hardship. Orphaned and mistreated, he wanders the streets, surviving on scraps and the kindness of strangers. But when he hears whispers of a newborn child in Bethlehem, something stirs within him—a hope he has never dared to feel. Drawn toward the distant light of a miraculous event, Zia embarks on a journey that will change his life in ways he never imagined.
The Little Hunchback Zia is a story of hardship and transformation, set against the backdrop of one of history’s most famous events. Frances Hodgson Burnett tells a moving tale of a boy cast aside by society, whose journey leads him toward kindness and the hope of a new beginning.
FRANCES HODGSON BURNETT [1849–1924] emigrated from England to the USA after her father’s death and settled in Knoxville, Tennessee. She is best known for The Secret Garden [1911], one of the great classics of children's literature.
