Book Description
Originally published in 1897, Mark the Match Boy; or Richard Hunter's Ward is one of Alger's formulaic juvenile novels, which are best remembered for the "rags-to-riches" theme they championed. In such stories, poor city boys rose in social status by working hard and being honest. In Mark the Match Boy; or Richard Hunter's Ward, Richard Hunter, now a successful and respectable New York businessman, becomes the patron of a poor runaway boy and starts him on the ladder of success.

"Though not Alger's first book, Ragged Dick, published in 1867, was the beginning of his series of stories of poor boys who rose from [rags] to riches. ... Of course, little ragged Dick overcomes poverty and scorn to win success as the distinguished Richard Hunter. He, in turn, becomes the protector of Mark, the match boy, hero of the subsequent Alger novel."--Cover.
