In this Victorian era children’s novel, haughty Breton aristocrats unjustly reject and cruelly abandon the young orphan Cecil after the death of his wealthy uncle. The plucky youth refuses to be disheartened, though. With the help of a wonderful stray dog that he names Fox, Cecil resolves to follow the model of Robinson Crusoe as he sets out to survive in the wild environs of the streets of Paris. (Summary by Kelly Taylor)
