More about the book
Horatio Alger, Jr. was a prolific American writer known for his influential boys' books, which gained immense popularity in the late 19th century. Born in Massachusetts and a Harvard alum, he briefly served as a Unitarian minister before scandal cut his clerical career short. Relocating to New York City, he embraced writing full-time, achieving significant success with "Ragged Dick" in 1868, which solidified his status in children's literature. His works often emphasized themes of hard work, perseverance, and the American dream.
