What this book is about
Silas K. Hocking (1850-1935), the English Methodist minister and novelist who wrote some of the Victorian era's most widely read temperance and moral fiction, here examines the dangers of a life built on risk and chance rather than steady virtue. Hocking's novels reached enormous audiences with their combination of compelling narrative and moral purpose.
