About this book
A cold London street in 1869 brings Wikkey Whiston into the path of Lawrence Granby, a young man whose friendly attention matters deeply to the boy. Wikkey earns small coins by sweeping a crossing, and his eager watch for Lawrence becomes part of his daily routine. When their meetings are interrupted, he keeps waiting as the weather and his health grow worse.
This children's story connects practical kindness with Christian teaching. Lawrence tries to explain why cheating another boy was wrong, but Wikkey's street experience has given him a different understanding of fairness. A letter from Lawrence's cousin Reginald proposes an approach through affection and the Gospel stories. The exchanges show an adult struggling to find words that a child can understand and trust. Henrietta Vaders brings together poverty, illness and faith in a story about the meaning of care to someone who has received little of it.
