More about the book

Set against a backdrop of social issues, the narrative explores the struggles of the impoverished in Slumtown, highlighting the exploitation of blind children and small boys forced into labor to support their families. Through vivid scenes like "The Hangel of Charity," which portrays a wealthy woman writing checks for the needy, and the political rivalry during a general election, the story critiques the empty promises of candidates who appeal to the working class. The atmosphere is further enriched by lively music that engages the local children.
