Infants of the Clean is historical fiction based on Armory v. Delamirie, a 1700s judge case before the King's Bench against Paul de Lamerie, a silversmith. Within the vein of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist, Infants of the Clean is defined in a time when climbing guys were required up burning flues to dislodge hazardous soot and coal ash. Egan Whitcombe is just six years of age when he is sold to Master Armory for a couple coins. As one of Master Armory's eight broomers, Egan quickly discovers that his life is determined by absolute obedience. Pitt, the first choice of Master Armory's broomers, demonstrates to Egan to sweep chimneys and negotiate for scraps of bakery. Cracked and starving, the guys discover companionship as they battle to save five guineas, the expense of a broomer's freedom.
