Cherry's Child is a novel written by John Strange Winter and first published in 1904. The story revolves around the life of Cherry, a young girl who is abandoned by her biological mother and left to be raised by a group of street performers. Cherry grows up in poverty and struggles to find her place in the world, but she is determined to make the best of her situation. As Cherry grows older, she becomes a talented performer in her own right and catches the eye of a wealthy gentleman, Mr. Carlyon. Mr. Carlyon takes Cherry under his wing and provides her with the education and opportunities she needs to succeed in life. However, Cherry's past comes back to haunt her when her biological mother reappears and tries to claim her as her own. The novel explores themes of identity, family, and class, as Cherry tries to reconcile her past with her present and build a future for herself. Winter's vivid descriptions of life on the streets of London and the world of Victorian entertainment provide a rich backdrop for Cherry's story. Cherry's Child is a compelling and heartwarming tale of resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
