"A London Baby: The Story of King Roy" by L.T. Meade is a tale set in late 19th-century London, following the life of young Roy, a carpenter's son cherished for his innocence and beauty. Roy, seen as a "king" by those around him, is at the story's heart, while narratives explore the challenges faced by his working-class family. The story introduces Roy's stern father, John Warden, an emotionally reserved carpenter, and his loving sister, Faith, who deeply cares for Roy. The developing story highlights Faith's determination to shield her brother from life’s harsher realities and her awareness of their father's emotional distance, setting the stage for an exploration of family love.
