This favorite family classic was one of the most popular children’s books during the Victorian era. Featuring the close friendship of an old man and a young boy as they suffer through hard times together in London, the story paints a vivid picture of England’s poverty and the despair of the poor. However, a simple gospel message leads them from despair to hope. The charming story will not only delight a whole new generation but will also provide hope and a proper perspective for the necessities of life.

Excerpt: "He was a poor sin-stained old man,” the clergyman went on, “but he took Jesus at His word, he came to the blood of Christ to be washed, and even here he was made whiter than snow. And two nights ago the dear Lord sent for the old man, and took him home ... ‘faultless and stainless, faultless and stainless, safe in that happy home.’ “If I were to hear next Sunday,” said the clergyman, “that any one of you was dead, could I say the same of you? Whilst we are meeting here, would you be in ‘Home, sweet Home’? Are you indeed washed in the precious blood of Christ? Have you indeed been forgiven? Have you indeed come to Jesus?”
