Gutter-Babies is a novel written by Dorothea Slade. The book is set in the early 1900s and follows the story of a group of orphaned children who live on the streets of London. The main character, Lily, is a young girl who has been forced to grow up quickly in order to survive in this harsh environment. She is the leader of the group and is responsible for taking care of the other children. The novel explores the difficult lives of these children as they struggle to find food, shelter, and safety in a world that is indifferent to their plight. They face numerous challenges such as hunger, illness, and violence. Despite these challenges, the children form a tight-knit community and find joy in small things.As the story progresses, Lily and the other children encounter various characters who impact their lives in different ways. Some are kind and offer them help, while others are cruel and make their lives even more difficult. The novel also touches on themes such as poverty, class struggle, and the importance of family.Overall, Gutter-Babies is a poignant and heart-wrenching story that sheds light on the lives of children who are often forgotten and ignored by society. It is a powerful reminder of the resilience and strength of the human spirit 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.
