Aunt Hannah and Seth

In bustling early‑twentieth‑century New York, a small boy named Seth—known as “Limpy” for his uneven gait—navigates the crowded streets with his beloved white dog, Snip, cradled in his arms. The pair’s daily routine is a tightrope of survival, where every crossing of the Brooklyn Bridge feels like a test of courage, and a quick‑witted friend named Tim Chandler constantly teases him about the cost of keeping his loyal companion.

Their banter reveals a world of hard work, cheap jokes, and the fierce loyalty that binds a boy to his stray. Through lively dialogue and vivid street scenes, the story paints a portrait of urban life where friendships are forged in the shadows of soot‑covered buildings and the clatter of horse‑drawn carts. As Seth and Tim grapple with poverty, ambition, and the simple joy of a dog’s affection, listeners are drawn into a heartfelt slice of history that feels both timeless and warmly human.
