A Boy to Drive the Beasts

Résumé du livre

Gazing from his window in the Corwen Workhouse, Sam often wonders what life is like outside. And when he sees a pretty young girl wave at him one day, he begins to realise how narrow his life has been. He runs away to join the drovers, learning the tricks of the trade and enjoying the excitement of a big cattle drove, across the Welsh hills. But on the run from Workhouse officials he falls into the hands of two villains who involve him in the terror of a fatal highway robbery on a mountain pass. At last, he escapes and his journey comes full circle with the prospect of a new life of freedom beyond the workhouse gates.
