Benny wondered for a long time when Joe was going to say something that he could understand; but somehow to-night he did not like to disturb him by asking questions.

She fancied she heard the music of purling streams, and the songs of happy birds in the leafy trees that waved their branches over her.

The voice of Joe banished the beautiful vision from the glowing grate, and the child wondered if ever it would become a reality—if ever she would dwell amid such scenes in a life that had no ending.

I mean having grown up in liverpool and the surrounding areas I have visited many places within this book and have felt able to immerse myself into what was happening. The language was a little hard to follow at times but was to be expected given the era it was written in.

A Victorian tale of poverty on the streets of Liverpool. A homeless brother and sister and how they survived. This is a reread for me, I read this book in school, I loved it then and it's still as good now. A story that is heart wrenching in parts and full of emotion throughout, I defy you not to te
