Three of Farjeon’s Christmas books. The first follows a waif born in a London slum called Stoney Alley, who acquires the name Blade-o’-Grass and must make her way among thieves, kindly eccentrics and philanthropists. The others carry the reader through country roads and humble homes, with the same blend of sentiment, humour and appeals to charity.
