“Ha’penny” is a truly touching short story by Alan Paton about a young and precocious former street child, now imprisoned in a reformatory, who has imagined for himself a life more compassionate than the one he has been forced to live.
The elders brought into the gravity-spell of Ha’penny’s small world, soon come to learn the value of a little child’s hope, able to overcome the solidity of the institution in which he has, at least, found a friend.
