Little People (1909)

Little People is a novel by British author Richard Whiteing, first published in 1909. The story follows the lives of a group of working-class people living in London's East End during the late Victorian era. The main characters are a family of six siblings, ranging in age from young children to adults, who struggle to survive in a world of poverty, crime, and social inequality. The novel explores themes of family, love, class, and the struggle for survival in a harsh and unforgiving world. Whiteing's vivid descriptions of the characters and their surroundings bring the bustling streets and cramped tenements of the East End to life, while his sympathetic portrayal of the working-class characters gives voice to a segment of society often overlooked in literature. Little People is a poignant and thought-provoking novel that offers a glimpse into the lives of those who lived on the margins of society in turn-of-the-century London.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
