About this book

In the mid-19th century, as industrialization transformed urban landscapes, the plight of the impoverished became increasingly visible. "The Rag Pickers: And Other Stories" by Madeline Leslie offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of destitute children navigating the harsh realities of their environment. Through compelling narratives, Leslie captures the resilience of young characters like Dilly Hogan, who embody the struggle for survival amidst societal neglect. This collection not only highlights the stark contrast between wealth and poverty but also serves as a testament to the unyielding spirit of youth. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this work invites readers to reflect on the enduring themes of hardship and hope in a rapidly changing world.
