 Book Description
The hero of `Ragged Dick` is a veritable `diamond in the rough`-as innately virtuous as he is streetwise and cocky. Immediately popular with young readers, the novel also appealed to parents, who responded to its colorful espousal of the Protestant ethic. `Struggling Upward` published nearly thirty years later, followed the same time-tested formulas, and despite critical indifference it, too, had mass appeal.
