"Ten Boys from Dickens" by Kate Dickinson Sweetser is a collection of stories crafted for a youthful audience, published in the early 20th century. The book distills the lives of ten boy characters drawn from the works of Charles Dickens, offering readers a glimpse into the trials and adventures they experience before the threshold of manhood. It aims to rekindle interest in Dickens' narrative style and the moral lessons embedded within his writings. The opening of the text provides a preface that outlines the book's intention to celebrate the boyhood experiences depicted in Dickens' novels. It emphasizes the importance Dickens placed on advocating for the welfare of children and exposing societal injustices through the trials faced by his young characters. The preface introduces Tiny Tim from "A Christmas Carol," illustrating his kind-hearted nature and the loving family dynamics amidst their struggles. This section serves as both an introduction to the featured boys and as a tribute to Dickens’ legacy of addressing social issues through the lens of childhood innocence, setting the stage for the stories to unfold.
