Ragged Dick: and, Struggling upward (Penguin classics)
General fiction
Human-narrated audio
Summary
From the 1860's through the 1890s, Horatio Alger wrote hundreds of novels to teach young boys the merits of honesty, hard work, and cheerfulness in the face of adversity. The hero of "Ragged Dick" is a veritable "diamond in the… rough"—as innately virtuous as he is streetwise and cocky. "Struggling Upward", published nearly thirty years later, followed the same time-tested formula and was similarly popular. 1985.
