The book that defines classic, optimistic American literature--"the Horatio Alger story"--now in a beautiful new package.

In this classic rags-to-riches tale, discover the exhilarating story of one boy's metamorphosis from a street urchin in New York City to a handsome, self-respecting gentlemen.

Part coming of age tale and part adventure novel, Ragged Dick is the story of a fast-talking, plucky street boy who gambles, smokes, and has no formal education. But Dick is also hardworking, striving not for wealth and status, but for a steady job, a decent place to sleep, and respectability.

Set amidst the drama and perils of growing up as an outcast in the gritty underbelly of NYC, this novel illustrates the courage, tenacity, and resilience of one young boy who, in the face of adversity, aims to pull himself up by his bootstraps and persevere.

With an Introduction by Michael Meyer
and a New Afterword by Bryan Waterman
