A 19th Century Literary Gem
Ah, the grandmas and their quirky gifts strike again! One granny thought she’d gift her grandson a literary masterpiece this time. Judging by the book’s title, we’re in for a real treat, right? Well, brace yourselves because “Ragged Dick” by Horatio Alger Jr. is no joke. It’s a genuine piece of literature!
Published in 1867 as a children’s magazine serial, it later evolved into a full-blown novel, kicking off a series of six books. So, when your grandma hands you a peculiar-looking book this Christmas, don’t judge it by its title. It might just be a hidden literary gem from the past.
