Paperback. Condition: New. First published in 1879, Her Benny by Silas K. Hocking quickly became one of the most widely read novels of the Victorian era. It tells the moving story of Benny Bates, a poor boy in the streets of Liverpool, who struggles against poverty, loss, and hardship yet finds strength in faith, kindness, and t…he love of his devoted sister Nelly.Hocking's story captured the hearts of late-Victorian readers with its vivid portrayal of working-class life and its central message of hope rising out of despair. For decades, Her Benny was a favourite in Sunday schools, youth groups, and homes across Britain. Yet like many Victorian classics, the language, structure, and typesetting of older editions can make the text challenging for modern readers.This KMCS Publishing edition reintroduces Her Benny for the twenty-first century. The novel itself remains in the public domain, but this release has been carefully modernised and enhanced to make the story accessible to today's audience while staying faithful to Hocking's intent.What makes this edition distinctive:· ? A carefully proof-read and modernised text, smoothing Victorian phrasing for contemporary readers.· ? Professional 5×8? formatting, designed for readability with clear chapter divisions and attractive cream-paper layout.· ? A thoughtful new introduction that reflects on the enduring themes of poverty, faith, social justice, and resilience.· ? A striking new cover design, exclusive to KMCS Publishing, which captures both the period atmosphere and modern appeal.About the story:Benny Bates is just a child when tragedy strikes. Orphaned and forced to survive in the unforgiving streets of Liverpool, Benny is sustained only by the loyalty of his sister Nelly. Together they face hunger, loss, and the grinding indifference of a city that offers little mercy to the poor. Yet Benny's courage, honesty, and determination gradually win him friendships and opportunities, leading him on a path from hardship to hope.Hocking weaves into Benny's tale the struggles of countless Victorian children - the neglected, the exploited, the forgotten - while at the same time offering a narrative of redemption and faith. The novel's mix of social realism and Christian morality touched a deep chord in its original audience, making it one of the best-selling works of its time.Why read Her Benny today?Though written nearly 150 years ago, the themes of Her Benny remain strikingly relevant. Questions of poverty, child welfare, social inequality, and the power of faith and kindness are as important today as they were in Victorian Liverpool. Readers who enjoy stories of resilience against impossible odds - or who wish to understand how fiction shaped social awareness in nineteenth-century Britain - will find Her Benny both moving and inspiring.This edition offers students, teachers, book clubs, and general readers the chance to encounter the story without the barriers that sometimes come with older, unedited reprin.

Trade Paperback. Condition: As New. Facsimile Reproduction. 262 Pages. This is a facsimile edition of the lesser known 1890 Illustrated Edition. The initial publication was under an 1879 copyright. In the author's own words, he tells the reader in the preface the publishers decided the book needed a new overcoat, and so here is…Her Benny (A Tale of Victorian Liverpool) - the 1890 De Luxe Illustrated Edition. The illustrator is not known. This book is an unapologetically Protestant Christian flavoured tale of two Liverpool waifs, young brother and sister, Benny and Nelly Bates. They are starved and abused and sent out to scrape as best a living as they can: Nelly selling matches, Benny portering at the ferry terminal. But things get so bad, that Benny, after his young fragile sister gets a terrible beating, decides enough is enough, takes whatever provisions he can find, grabs his sister by the hand, and leaves home. The author, the Reverend Silas Kitto Hocking was born in Cornwall in 1850. By the time he was an adult he became an ordained Methodist minister and it was in this ministry that he lived around Liverpool, Southport and Oldham. He was a published author, some titles doing well, others poorly, and some not in book form ever but were serialisations in various magazines and periodicals. But one book, inspired by the poverty stricken families and waifs of inner city Liverpool of the 1870s, was to make him and the book famous internationally. Silas K Hocking became the first ever author to reach and surpass the million copies sold in an author's own lifetime. He died at age 85 in 1935. Interestingly though, he only made a total of thirty pounds in author's fees from Her Benny. The illustrations have been maximised, many enlarged and some digitally improved.
