A Lucky Star

In the novel, 'Dr. Russell,' twin babies were stolen and sold. This novella tells what became of them...

19th century Britain knew extremes in wealth and well-being. The death of children was not unusual. The poorest families struggled to survive even to the point of selling one of their children to help feed those remaining. Children were stolen to be trained as pick-pockets, chimney sweeps or worse.
This tells the story of twin babies stolen and sold—and what became of them.
