Little Ben Hadden: Or Do Right, Whatever Comes Of It is a novel written by William Henry Giles Kingston and originally published in 1870. The story follows the adventures of Ben Hadden, a young boy who is determined to do the right thing no matter what obstacles he faces. Ben lives in a small village with his kind-hearted mother and his abusive father, who is a drunkard and often beats him. Despite this, Ben remains optimistic and determined to make the most of his life. One day, Ben's father is arrested for stealing from a neighbor, and Ben is forced to leave home and find work to support himself and his mother. He becomes a cabin boy on a ship and faces many challenges and dangers, including a shipwreck, a mutiny, and encounters with pirates. Throughout his adventures, Ben remains true to his principles and always tries to do what is right, even if it means putting himself in danger. The novel is a classic example of Victorian children's literature, with a strong emphasis on morality and the importance of doing the right thing. It also explores themes of poverty, family relationships, and the challenges of growing up. Little Ben Hadden: Or Do Right, Whatever Comes Of It is a timeless tale of courage and perseverance that continues to captivate readers of all ages.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
