About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of EDDIE OF JACKSON'S GANG, by BROTHER ERNEST RYAN. Read by Maria Therese. Eddie. That is the only name our young, musically talented hero knew for himself. After being left at a Catholic orphanage as a young child, at the age of nine he is unwittingly adopted into a gang of thieves. Will he be able and maintain his innocence and escape their clutches? And will he ever be able to discover his true parentage? Brother Ernest Ryan was a Holy Cross Brother, the founder of and a prolific author for the Dujarie Press, a Catholic publishing house of Juvenile Saint books for children in the 1950’s and 1960’s. He wrote numerous juvenile biographical saint books for children, as well as several children’s fictional titles – of which this is one. (Introduction by Maria Therese)
