The text tells the story of Agnes Elizabeth Jennings, also known as 'Agelantine', who became a symbol of children's rights and a pioneer in the fight against child hunger. Born into a wealthy family, she grew up in a rural area of England and had a privileged childhood. However, her life took a dramatic turn when her brother, who was her confidant and support, passed away unexpectedly. This event led her to dedicate her life to helping others, particularly the most vulnerable children. She founded the 'Save the Children' organization in 1919 and became a leading figure in the fight against child hunger and poverty.
موهای قرمزش را گوجهای بسته بود. قد بلند، لاغر و رنگپریده بود و چشمانی آبی، به رنگ گلهای فراموشممکن داشت. این میدان جایی بود که منشورگرایان (چارتیستها) در سال ۱۸۴۸ برای مطالبه اصلاحات سیاسی به سود کارگران گرد هم آمدند و بعدها طرفدار حق رای زنان در آن تجمع کردند.
اگلانتین با هدفی مشخص آنجا بود: او میان رهگذران برگهای پخش میکرد که روی آن تصویر دختربچهای با بدنی کوچک و سری بسیار بزرگ دیده میشد. او دختربچهای اتریشی و دو سال و نیمه بود که باید میخندید، میدوید و دنبال پروانهها میکرد، اما حتی نمیتوانست به تنهایی روی پای خودش بایستد. وزن این دختربچه تنها حدود ۵/۵ کیلوگرم بود، در حالی که وزن معمول کودکی در این سن نزدیک به ۱۳ کیلوگرم است.
اگرچه یک سال از پایان جنگ جهانی اول میگذشت، اروپا همچنان درگیر رنج و تنگدستی بود و هر هفته حدود ۸۰۰ نفر از گرسنگی جان میدادند. اگلانتین جب، از بنیانگذاران سازمان غیردولتی «نجات کودکان» در سال ۱۹۱۹، نخستین اعلامیه حقوق کودک را تدوین کرد؛ میراثی سرنوشتساز با تاثیری ماندگار با این که کمک به جلوگیری از گرسنگی کودکان در همهجا ایدهای عالی و انساندوستانه است، فعالیتهای اگلانتین در آن زمان اقدامی تحریکآمیز تلقی میشد.
وقتی پلیس برای بازداشتش رسید، اگلانتین با خود فکر کرد شاید بتواند از این بازداشت برای رساندن پیامش به افراد بیشتری استفاده کند. او از آسیبپذیرترین کودکان دفاع کرد، هرچند در آن زمان این کار او را برای برخی به چهرهای منفور و در برابر قانون به یک مجرم تبدیل میکرد
