Ivy sits in the garden of her hillside home where she makes her
fishing nets, working on in the soft light of summer. The sound of
bees drone in flowers nearby, a bright sky crowns a lustrous summer
sea, grassland drops away from the cottage to the village below.
And so Ivy's story begins. As her life unfolds, she will find her
strength tested to the limit but her love will not fail. Ivy and
little Ned must rely on each other and those who love them to find
gentle light at the end of their dark days. Ivy is part of the
Victorian Books Treasury series, edited for the modern day and
illustrated. Also available as a large print paperback. Paperback
editions of this book are printed using the clear, easy-to-read,
'dyslexia-friendly' font Century Gothic.
This is a pre-1923 historical reproduction that was curated for
quality. Quality assurance was conducted on each of these books in
an attempt to remove books with imperfections introduced by the
digitization process. Though we have made best efforts - the books
may have occasional errors that do not impede the reading
experience. We believe this work is culturally important and have
elected to bring the book back into print as part of our continuing
commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide.
This book is a little gem. It was first published in 1880 by a
Cornish Minister who upped sticks to bang his drum up in the 'grim
North', ( including 3 years in Liverpool, which is where this story
is primarily set ). Despite the good man of the cloth earning only
a fraction of what he should have done, this book gave Silas K
Hocking his place in History, as the first author to sell more than
a million books in his own life time. Considering the traditional
rush from the cemetery to buy all sorts of works of art, music and
literature by even the most obscure writers/artists in the event of
their passing on, this was indeed an achievement. One read of the
first chapter will make you understand why.
