About this listen

 In the latter half of the 19th century, London was transforming into a bustling industrial hub, drawing in countless working-class individuals from surrounding towns and rural areas, all in pursuit of a better life for themselves and their families. However, this influx of people led to fierce competition for jobs, allowing wealthy business owners to offer meager wages, which resulted in widespread poverty, overcrowded living conditions, and unsanitary slums. While many chose to emigrate from Britain during this tumultuous time, others faced dire circumstances right at home. This light and satirical novel follows Ginx, a struggling man who grapples with the fate of the baby he cannot afford to keep. Explore what happens to Ginxs Baby through the actions of Charity and the Churches, the Parish, Clubs and Politicians, and ultimately, how Ginxs Baby shapes his own destiny. - Summary by Lisa ReichertCopyright Nature and Animals World
