Jean Valjean has been sent back to the galleys. After years of happiness as M. Madeleine, Mayor of Montreuil-sur-Mer, he has admitted to his real identity to save another man from imprisonment. Fantine is dead, and he has promised to find and look after her little daughter Cosette - but how can he keep his promise now he is a prisoner?
