A novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a young boy named Joe Potter, who faces financial ruin after failing in his fruit vendor business. He encounters a lost little girl, referred to as the ''princess,'' and decides to take care of her through a chaotic series of events leading to unexpected developments that change both of their lives. At the start of the story, Joe Potter is introduced as a spirited yet troubled youth who has just lost his fruit business and finds himself with only a handful of coins to his name. He holds a deep admiration for the charming little girl he encounters—essence of innocence and purity—while navigating through the bustling streets of the city. As he picks up the lost ''princess,'' Joe wrestles with his own insecurities and fears regarding his uncertain future, unaware that he will be drawn into a larger narrative of potential danger, friendship, and responsibility. The opening chapters reveal Joe's determination to protect the princess while dealing with the immediate challenges posed by his own misfortunes, setting the stage for an engaging and adventurous tale.
