OverviewA WHOLESOME BOOK TO INSTILL VICTORIAN VIRTUES & TEACH ABOUT A DARK PERIOD IN HISTORYSet in the streets of London in 1834, Lord Rivers' riveting tale Charlie the Chimney Sweep follows a hardworking young chimney sweep and his friends as they work through the day to earn some pocket money. What better way to send children to bed than by regaling them with tales of sweeping out the soot from chimneys, earning some shillings, and buying jellied eels for dinner in the park with friends! All the while some less than reputable fellows in Parliament conspire to keep Charlie from working, likely in order to keep all the money and jellied eels for themselves! This story extols the virtues of hardworking children and lightheartedly demonstrates that not everyone was keen on some of the various reforms of 19th century Britain. THE REAL HISTORY OF THE CHIMNEY SWEEPS - also included is a history of the Chimney Sweepers Acts and child labour reforms. The Chimney Sweepers Act of 1834, herein referenced, was one of the first steps taken towards combating child labour in the United Kingdom in the 19th century.
