A deluxe Harper Perennial Legacy Edition, with an introduction from
Simon Van Booy, nationally best-selling author of Father's Day and
The Illusion of Separateness A compelling historical novel of a
young man's rise from poverty to wealth in a small provincial town
during the Industrial Revolution, now available in a Legacy Edition
from Harper Perennial Modern Classics. Like Charles Dickens's
beloved David Copperfield, John Halifax is an orphan, determined to
make his success through honest hard work. He becomes an apprentice
to Abel Flecher, a tanner and a Quaker, and is soon befriended by
Abel's invalid son, Phineas, who chronicles John's success in
business and love, rising from the humblest of origins to the
pinnacle of wealth made possible by England's Industrial
Revolution. Dinah Maria Mulock Craik explores the sweeping
transformation wrought by this revolutionary technological age,
including the rise of the middle class and its impact on the
social, economic, and political makeup of the nation as it moved
from the eighteenth to the nineteenth century. This Legacy Edition
features a lush design and French flaps.
