The Surgeon and the Climbing Boy

Más información sobre el libro

In 1840s Britain, the Industrial Revolution has brought advances in technology and manufacturing. For the gentry, it means bigger chimneys on their houses. For poor, young boys, it sometimes means becoming a soot merchant's climbing boy. Jack is one such climbing boy. Born into a life of unlimited wealth and opportunities but through a cruel twist of fate he is abandoned and eventually taken on as a climbing boy by the village chimney sweep. Like many other poor young climbing boys, Jack sadly contracts what is known as soot wart, a disease that eventually takes his life. Although his life is a short one, it is in the last few months of his life that he comes to learn what it means to have a family and to be loved. A love that continues beyond his death.
