Cast Upon the World - The Story of a Waif

By Ben Brierley

In this work from one of Lancashire's foremost working class writers we are introduced to young Thomas Thornley and his friend Humpy Dick, who live in the textile village of Hole-i'th'-Wood on the edge of Manchester. The reader is transported back to Thomas's and Dick's early childhood in the 1830's and to witness their development to manhood. The story relates their hopes and dreams, their loves won and lost, their many adventures together and the strange twist of fate that finally determines both their futures. A classic from the pen of a master of his trade. Published in support of the Working Class Movement Library, Salford, M5 4WX.
