Soloman Snow

Solly's life stinks. He lives with Ma and Pa Scubbins in a rundown cottage outside of the village of Boring, and works as a delivery boy for their laundry service. But his luck soon changes when Ma lets slip a little secret: Solly was left on their doorstep as an infant, with a silver spoon in his mouth. Solly sets out to find his spoon with the help of some ragamuffin friends he picks up along the way. But will Solly ever find his spoon and his real parents?

In this comic story, set in mock-Victorian times, Solomon Snow finds, to his amazement, that he is a foundling. A silver spoon was left with him as a baby, but his "Pa" pawned it. Solomon leaves home in high dudgeon to seek his spoon and his real parents.
