Summary: "How a Farthing Made a Fortune; or 'Honesty is the Best Policy'" by Mrs. C. E. Bowen is a children's fiction novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a young boy named Dick Nason, the son of a ragman, who grows up in the dire conditions of a neglected home in a poor part of London. As he navigates the struggles of his upbringing, the narrative explores themes of honesty and redemption through Dick's encounters with the kind-hearted John Walters, who plays a crucial role in guiding him towards a better moral path. The opening of the book paints a stark picture of Dick's early life in Roan's Court, detailing the hardship and squalor faced by his family, particularly due to his parents' alcoholism. Amidst this challenging environment, Dick's innate curiosity and kindness shine through, as seen in his interactions with the flowers at Covent Garden Market and his response to an important moral lesson from Walters after he steals some apples. The beginning establishes the conflict between Dick’s inherent goodness and the temptations of his surroundings, setting the stage for his journey towards personal growth and the realization that honesty can lead to a brighter future.
