Summary

While his nursemaid is distracted, Henry is abducted by a thief who steals his fine clothes and forces him to beg for his food, before selling him to a chimney-sweeper. He works hard and becomes adept at sweeping chimneys, but runs away to find better working conditions as an army drummer, and then a navy cabin boy. Through bravery and good conduct, he becomes an officer of good repute, and is reunited with his proud parents.

Note

Issued in a cardboard slipcase with the same printed text as on the printed wrappers.
