About this book
On a noisy Winnipeg street corner, Ned sells newspapers with a clear voice and a businesslike air. Small for his age, he takes care of his worn clothes and wins friends through his cheerful manner. His grandmother has raised him amid family loss and financial hardship. Alongside his work, the boy finds pleasure in gymnasium contests, Scout activities and the annual church picnic at Winnipeg Beach.
Samuel Fea's short narrative moves between the city's busy streets and the quieter life Ned shares with Granny. Their visits to church and prayers together give the account a strong religious emphasis, while descriptions of trading, recreation and neighborhood generosity place it within everyday Winnipeg life. Readers interested in childhood work or the city's social history will find a story shaped by affection for its young newspaper seller, with duty, kindness and faith guiding the narrator's view of him.
