Description
The unforgettable tale of an orphan in Victorian London, based on the boy whose plight inspired Dr Barnardo to found his famous children’s homes.
When his mother dies, Jim Jarvis is left all alone in London. He is sent to the workhouse but quickly escapes, choosing a hard life on the streets of the city over the confines of the workhouse walls.
Struggling to survive, Jim finally finds some friends… only to be snatched away and made to work for the remorselessly cruel Grimy Nick, constantly guarded by his vicious dog, Snipe.
Will Jim ever manage to be free?

This book is amazing and the story behind it can show how Victorians lived their lives. Jim is just a poor child with nothing but the contrast my word🙀it is amazing 😉 from being poverty stricken to having a fire and clean clothes it is an amazing 📚. I thought Jim was just a neglected child 👶 and I was proven wrong his character is amazing.
