Children Reclaimed For Life: The Story Of Dr. Barnardo�������s Work In London by Godfrey Holden Pike is a historical account of the life and work of Dr. Thomas John Barnardo, a philanthropist who dedicated his life to rescuing and rehabilitating destitute children in Victorian London. The book chronicles Barnardo's early life and his decision to become a medical missionary, as well as his founding of the East End Juvenile Mission in 1867, which later became known as the Dr. Barnardo's Homes. The author describes the challenges and triumphs of Barnardo's work, including his efforts to provide shelter, education, and vocational training to thousands of children living in poverty and danger on the streets of London. The book also explores the controversies surrounding Barnardo's methods and the criticisms he faced from some members of the public and the press. Overall, Children Reclaimed For Life offers a fascinating insight into the life and legacy of one of the most influential figures in the history of child welfare and social reform in Britain.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
