Book Description: I used to hate that cavorting, head standing boy, and think he was little better than a monkey but I felt envious of him, too, when the sun shined down upon him: for he seemed so free and independent, and he was so active and clever . . . while whenever I, myself, tried to stand on my head, I always tipped right over and hurt my back. In the middle 1830s, a young orphan is taken in by a kindly market gardener who teaches the boy the ways of plants, crops and harvests. Grant Dennison grows to love the garden; and he can look forward to travel to London, to give him view of the wider world . . . yet there is another presence in his new life, one who gives him much to ponder and puzzle upon: a boy named Shock, who seems almost a wild creature, living by his wits in the dirty streets, and scrounging out his meager but joyous existence. George Manville Fenn (1831 1909), popular English writer of tales for younger readers, offers a tale of 19th century England in Brownsmith's Boy, A Romance in a Garden.
