Author Mitford, Mary Russell, 1787-1855
Title Jesse Cliffe
Credits Produced by David Widger
Summary "Jesse Cliffe" by Mary Russell Mitford is a fictional narrative likely written during the early 19th century. The book tells the story of a young boy named Jesse Cliffe, who grows up in isolation, navigating life away from society after being abandoned at a workhouse. The novel explores themes of connection, kindness, and personal transformation against the backdrop of rural England. The narrative follows Jesse from his childhood as a misunderstood outcast to a self-sufficient young man. Residing in the desolate Moors, he survives through his knowledge of nature, foraging for food, and developing a bond with Phoebe, the delicate granddaughter of a local farmer. As Jesse navigates prejudice and isolation, he finds purpose and kindness, particularly through his relationship with Phoebe and her grandfather, John Cobham. An incident involving a fire at Cobham's estate cements Jesse's place in the community, leading to his gradual transformation from a wild boy into a respected member of society, with aspirations of becoming a gardener, culminating in a heartfelt reunion with Phoebe. The story poignantly illustrates how love and compassion can change a person's fate. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
