Cover Notes
The first robot story of the modern era. Susan Calvin sort of appears in it.

Robbie was a mute robot, a nursemaid for a girl called Gloria Weston. Her mother was not convinced that robots were safe, and she decided that they had to take the robot back. Her view changed when Robbie saved Gloria's life in the U.S. Robots' factory
