Excerpt from Jenny: A Novel
It was the close of a tropical day in August in the year 1878, that Henry Everard left his cham bers in Jermyn Street in the cool air of the evening to take a stroll about the streets of London, which possessed for him, as for Doctor Johnson, a greater fascination than anything else in' the world. They furnished him with an endless and quiet enjoy ment - an enjoyment which, unlike most of the delights of the great City, did not demand a rigorous payment in health and spirits.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a captivating glimpse into the bustling world of Victorian London, transporting readers to the heart of a city teeming with life and secrets. The story unfolds during a sweltering August, a time when London's elite have escaped to the countryside, leaving behind a unique and vibrant energy in the city's underbelly. The author, a successful playwright, embarks on a leisurely stroll through the streets, his keen eye drawn to the raw beauty and potential of the ordinary people he encounters. His journey leads him to Little Deans Court, a slum-like enclave where he encounters a remarkable young girl named Jenny. Jenny possesses a rare combination of beauty, innocence and strength, a combination that captivates the author and ignites within him a desire to bring her unique talents to the stage. The author's quest to elevate Jenny from her humble beginnings, and her subsequent journey into the world of Victorian theater, raises questions about class, opportunity, and the power of individual potential against the backdrop of a society grappling with the complexities of social mobility and artistic expression. This story offers a powerful exploration of these themes, showcasing the enduring allure of London as a backdrop for transformative human stories.
