Synopsis
Excerpt from Blade-O'-Grass
It may have been eight o'clock in the white night, and the bright' snow was still falling like feathers from angels' wings, when, at the door of the house in which the twins had been born and the mother had died, a lady and gentleman stopped, and, obtaining entrance, asked for the landlady. Unmistakably lady and gentleman, though plainly dressed. Not highly born, but as truly lady and gentleman as the best in the land. They were strangers to the landlady of the house; but she rose the instant they entered her apart ment, and remained standing during the inter view.

Blade-O'-Grass (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This compelling book delves into the stark reality of life for the urban poor in Victorian England. It opens a window into the hidden corners of society, where children like Blade-oâ-Grass fight a desperate daily battle for survival. The author vividly depicts the grim alleys and hopeless lives of the underclass through Blade-oâ-Grass, a young orphan girl whose only solace is a blade of grass she finds growing in a neglected corner. The story explores the brutal conditions that force her into a life of petty crime and highlights the lack of opportunities and compassion that blight so many lives in this harsh world. The book not only captures the harrowing experiences of the impoverished but also examines the broader social issues that perpetuate their suffering. It exposes the indifference and hypocrisy of the upper classes and the need for urgent reform to address the deep-rooted inequalities and injustices that condemn so many to a life of misery. This powerful and moving novel offers a profound insight into the struggles of the forgotten and marginalized, making it a valuable contribution to the understanding of poverty and social deprivation in the Victorian era.
