The Boy From Beggerville

By Peter Jackson

He was only eight years old when they took him away.

From the Northern Territory to a Catholic boys' home in Sydney, Peter Jackson is forced into a world of fear, silence, discipline, and survival. Inside Beggerville, childhood disappears quickly, and the boys learn that friendship, humour, and rebellion may be the only things that keep them alive.
Raw, confronting, and deeply human, The Boy from Beggerville is an unforgettable Australian story about institutional care, stolen innocence, and the fight to hold onto spirit and identity in a world determined to break both.
