The Golden Shoemaker or 'Cobbler' Horn

Brimming with heart and moral purpose, The Golden Shoemaker or "Cobbler" Horn by J. W. Keyworth tells the uplifting tale of a humble cobbler whose sudden good fortune sparks a life of charity, conflict, and quiet heroism. Set in the industrial streets of Cottonborough, this Victorian fiction blends religious themes and children's literature to explore faith, philanthropy, and the bonds of community. Keyworth introduces memorable figures—Aunt Jemima, the resourceful Tommy Dudgeon, and the enigmatic "little twin brethren"—as the shoemaker navigates letters, critics, lawyers, and parish life while attempting to found a home for needy children. The narrative balances gentle humour with moral seriousness, casting light on 19th‑century social concerns such as poverty, responsibility, and redemption without sacrificing warmth or accessibility. Ideal for listeners who enjoy classic English literature, religious fiction, or wholesome children's stories, this audiobook offers a richly atmospheric portrait of Victorian compassion and moral courage. Tune in for a character-driven, heartening journey that celebrates generous lives, small-town drama, and the enduring power of goodness.
