A charming little account for the young, meant to engender empathy among young Christians' children for the many homeless children, orphans, etc,. crowding the streets of America's large cities. Though not set in a specific city, at the beginning, the children specifically talk about Boston, New York, and Columbus, to set the stage. Nicely illustrated.
Inexplicably scarce for an ATS publication with no examples in the trade at the time of cataloging and none in the auction record.
