Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infants of the Brush is historical fiction based on Armory v. Delamirie, a 1700s court case before the King's Bench against Paul de Lamerie, a silversmith. In the vein of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist, Infants of the Brush is set in a time when London society ignored the ills of child labor. Unlike the gleeful chimney sweeps portrayed in Mary Poppins, climbing boys were forced up burning flues to dislodge harmful soot and coal ash. Egan Whitcombe is just six years old when he is sold to Master Armory for a few coins that his family desperately needs. As one of Master Armory's eight broomers, Egan quickly learns that his life depends on absolute obedience and the coins he earns. Pitt, the leader of Master Armory's broomers, teaches Egan to sweep chimneys and negotiate for scraps of bread. Broken and starving, the boys discover friendship as they struggle to save five guineas, the cost of a broomer's independence.

Book excerpt: For nearly a century, Victorian London relied on “climbing boys”—orphans owned by chimney sweeps—to clean flues and protect homes from fire. The work was hard, thankless, and brutally dangerous. Eleven-year-old Nan Sparrow is quite possibly the best climber who ever lived—and a girl. With her wits and will, she’s managed to beat the deadly odds time and time again. But when Nan gets stuck in a deadly chimney fire, she fears her time has come. Instead, she wakes to find herself in an abandoned attic. And she is not alone. Huddled in the corner is a mysterious creature—a golem—made from ash and coal. This is the creature that saved her from the fire. Sweep is the story of a girl and her monster. Together, these two outcasts carve out a life—saving one another in the process. By one of today’s most powerful storytellers, Sweep is a heartrending adventure about the everlasting gifts of friendship and hope.

But the bird-filled jungles and cloud-topped mountains of the tiger's homeland are an ocean away. And not everyone wants the tiger - or Fly - to get there alive. With dark and dangerous forces working against them, will Fly be able to fulfil her promise and maybe - just maybe - become the queen her tiger knows her to be?
Download or read book Love and Dirt written by Diane Atkinson and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2004-09-18 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On May 26, 1854, Arthur Munby met Hannah Cullwick. He was a solicitor for the Ecclesiastical Commission, and he loathed his job. She was a servant, a maid of all work. This first encounter marked the beginning of a relationship which was to endure for more than fifty years.

Love and Dirt is the story of a deep and lasting love between two extraordinary individuals who breached the barriers of class and endangered their vastly different stations in Victorian society.
Book Synopsis The Climbing Boy by : Mark Lichterman
Download or read book The Climbing Boy written by Mark Lichterman and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-06-19 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Climbing Boy is destined to become a Christmas classic. Mark Lichterman skillfully delivers this Dickensian-style tale set in 1800s London. The orphaned Zachariah will grip at your heart, and every reader will want this boy for their own--to nurture and to protect, but mostly to love. As much as you will be smitten by Zachariah, you will come to loathe William Johnson, his drunken master." "One cannot help but reach out as you read and try to help this poor little soul. If you think A Christmas Carol and The Little Match Girl are poignant stories, you must read this one." Illegally sold into the London chimney-sweeping trade as a chimney sweep's apprentice - a Climbing Boy - for the pittance of back rent owed to the landlord of the shack he had lived in with his widowed - and now deceased - mother, Zachariah has become little more than a slave to his owner, an abusive inebriate. Then on the day before Christmas in 1843, the very day of the same mystical Christmas Eve on which Ebenezer Scrooge received his three ghostly visitors, the face of a kind woman strikes a deep chord that rekindles the memory of the person missing from his dream, and gives Zachariah hope for the future. "Written in a style that reminds one of Charles Dickens, and of the same time period, Mark Lichterman's story of The Climbing Boy is already a classic and should receive wide readership for its compelling drama, its impeccable depiction of the time and place, and its connection to our mythology about children and Christmas." "The Climbing Boy is destined to become a Christmas classic. Mark Lichterman skillfully delivers this Dickensian-style tale that takes place in 1800's London. The orphaned Zachariah will grip at your heart and every reader will want this boy for their own--to nurture and to protect, but mostly to love. As much as you will be smitten by Zachariah, you will come to loathe William Johnson, his drunken master." Mark Lichterman is also the author of the Becoming series.

Book Synopsis Charlie the Chimney Sweep by : Darrell R Rivers
Download or read book Charlie the Chimney Sweep written by Darrell R Rivers and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-19 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in the streets of London in 1834, Lord Rivers' riveting tale "Charlie the Chimney Sweep" follows a hardworking young chimney sweep and his friends as they work through the day to earn some pocket money. What better way to send children to bed than by regaling them with tales of sweeping out the soot from chimneys, earning some shillings, and buying jellied eels for dinner in the park with friends! All the while some less than reputable fellows in Parliament conspire to keep Charlie from working, likely in order to keep all the money and jellied eels for themselves! This story extols the virtues of hardworking children and lightheartedly demonstrates that not everyone was keen on some of the various "reforms" of 19th century Britain. A brief history of the Chimney Sweepers Acts is to be found at the end. The Chimney Sweepers Act of 1834, herein referenced, was one of the first steps taken towards combating child labour in the United Kingdom in the 19th century.
