Paul Kegworthy, unloved in a grimy northern mill-town household of Buttons, is sure he was born for something better. He runs away, becomes an artist’s model and then an actor, and with the help of friends and luck climbs into London society, a parliamentary career and the friendship of a princess, while hiding the truth about where he came from.
