Charlie lives in a rural village with his family and grandfather who make leather shoes.  The family goes to Manchester to find work and as daily life in a factory gets harder, Charlie’s mother becomes sick.  However, Charlie does not lose hope; the story explores the light as well as the dark side of the Industrial Revolution.
