Horatio Alger, Jr. (1832-1899) was the author of over 100 adventure books, many focusing on a poor boy's struggle to overcome poverty and adversity. Alger's books are fast-paced page-turners that have enjoyed immense popularity while advocating generosity, honesty, industry, thrift, temperance, education and brovery.

Alger was born near Boston, attended Harvard and moved to New York City in 1866. Alger is one of America's all-time, best-selling fiction authors.

Fame and Fortune continues the story of Richard Hunter begun in Ragged Dick with a plot by his enemies to get him fired from his job for theft.

Nice simple lessons for young men of today as well and can still be applied in our time.

I have read several of his books… This is my first audible experience… Always a learning tool and a lesson learned in his books…

After listening to Ragged Dick, which was amazing, this is really lacking in performance. I will finish listening to it but OMG the fact that the narrator never fluctuates between characters makes it very difficult to focus and follow along it also makes it har to be drawn to the characters.
I’m grateful I got to meet some of the main characters in the first book by a different narrator.

Great story terrible narration
