Synopsis
Excerpt from Beneath the Wheels, Vol. 3 of 3
Children have strange histories, but no hand has been yet found skilful enough to write them.
It was nine O'clock when Lydia reached the hollow tree, within which Alfred Singleton lay. It was a huge oak Of enormous bulk, and now in its decay its great trunk had room and to spare, for the fugitives that sought its shelter. When the child crept first within the hollow, the semi-darkness at first blinded her; then, as her eyes cleared, 'she saw Alfred sleeping, and for a moment she stood and looked on him, the deep, unconscious, motherly tenderness, which is the root Of all woman's love, swelling in her little heart, and wetting her cheeks with tears. Then, kneeling down, she put her arm around his neck, and woke him.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, set in the Victorian era, explores the lives Of young children suffering under the cruelty Of England's school system and those living in grinding poverty, juxtaposed with the opulent lives Of the upper classes who are not at all affected by this suffering. The author paints a vivid and unvarnished picture Of a nation in transition, and the often brutal treatment of those viewed as weak. However, the author also presents this harsh reality against stories Of resilience, strength, and the hope that spurred people toward working for a more just society. At once tragic and heartwarming, this book explores the ideas Of justice, the need for reform, and the search for meaning in the face of hardship, all woven through a narrative that grips the reader from the rst page to the last. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330573211_0
