Alone in London is a novel written by Hesba Stretton and published in 1869. The book tells the story of a young girl named Hetty, who is left alone in London after her parents die. She is forced to fend for herself on the streets of the city, facing poverty, hunger, and danger at every turn.Hetty's struggles are compounded by the fact that she is blind, which makes it even more difficult for her to navigate the city and avoid danger. However, she is determined to survive and make a life for herself, and she is aided in her quest by a number of kind-hearted individuals who help her along the way.As Hetty's story unfolds, the reader is taken on a journey through the seedy underbelly of Victorian London, where poverty and desperation are rife. The book provides a vivid depiction of life in the city at the time, and highlights the struggles faced by those who were left to fend for themselves.Ultimately, Alone in London is a heartwarming tale of resilience, determination, and the power of human kindness. It is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today, and is a must-read for anyone interested in Victorian literature or social history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
