Summary "Alone in London" by Hesba Stretton is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around an elderly news agent named James Oliver and his unexpected charge, a young girl named Dolly, who is left in his care by her mother, Susan. The narrative explores themes of loneliness, compassion, and the bonds forged in unexpected circumstances, as Oliver's life intertwines with the plight of the child and the boy named Tony. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to old James Oliver living a solitary life in his small shop in London. His life takes a dramatic turn when he meets a little girl named Dolly, who is abandoned by her mother while she goes out to run errands. Oliver takes her in, and we see their gentle relationship begin to form as he comforts her and provides her with a safe haven amid the challenges of life in the city. As the narrative unfolds, a young boy named Tony becomes involved, seeking to care for Dolly. Their interactions lay the groundwork for themes of care, survival, and the importance of human connection in the face of hardship. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
