Finding a Sovereign by Eric Jones
A truly uplifting story about how Adam Warkin, probably the poorest boy in Dorset in the 1870s, makes good, finding love and a career, with surprising and delightful adventures along the way. 'Finding a Sovereign' tells the story of a boy, born into poverty, who makes his way in the world, using his honesty, integrity and good nature, despite his youth and ignorance. Pursuing his dream of seeing Queen Victoria in person one day, he experiences unexpected and dramatic outcomes, including being orphaned, robbed and cheated. Yet brave, bold Adam comes through it all, helped by the woman who taught him to read, whose kindness he never forgets.
Having retired from a lengthy career in education, Eric Jones and his wife now live in Evesham in the Cotswolds, in England. Eric has written and broadcast on education related matters and now teaches teenagers drama, directing plays and Shakespeare events.
