Summary "Mattie:—A Stray (Vol 1 of 3)" by F. W. Robinson is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story follows a young girl named Mattie, who is a destitute child navigating the harsh realities of life as a waif in London. Through her experiences, Mattie encounters various characters, including the respectable Wesden family, illustrating themes of social class, charity, and redemption." "The beginning of "Mattie:—A Stray" introduces readers to a vivid portrait of life in Great Suffolk Street, Southwark, where Mattie, a ragged girl of uncertain age, loiters in the doorway of a stationer's shop. As she observes a party within, Mattie's predicament becomes apparent as she struggles against poverty and the temptation to steal. The narrative quickly transitions to the Hinchford family, highlighting their interactions with both the Wesdens, who run the shop, and the community around them. Through these characters and their intertwined fates, the opening chapters set the stage for Mattie's journey from an innocent but wayward girl to someone who seeks a better life amidst the allure of dark choices and harsh societal judgments."
