Written with the intention of providing young men with a model for the principles and morals necessary to make them fine gentleman in the world, this delightfully inspiring tale is a timeless classic and the perfect choice for discerning parents to read to young boys with the world at their feet. Henry Mayhew was a playwright, journalist, English social researcher, and advocate of reform. Originally published in 1862, this delightful book is now republished with an introductory biography of the author. |
