Synopsis

In "Frank Merriwell's Danger," Burt L. Standish crafts a riveting tale that captures the quintessential themes of adventure, camaraderie, and moral integrity, reflective of early 20th-century American youth literature. The narrative follows the intrepid Frank Merriwell as he confronts various perils, blending suspenseful plotting with a distinctly optimistic tone. Standish's literary style is characterized by straightforward prose and vivid characterizations, creating an accessible yet engaging reading experience that mirrors the serialized publications of the time, catering to a young audience eager for excitement and inspiration. Burt L. Standish, a pseudonym for the prolific writer Gilbert Patten, was influenced by the rise of youth culture in America, particularly the burgeoning interest in sports and moral education. His creation of Frank Merriwell was a response to a societal need for role models who embodied ideal virtues, and Standish's own experiences as a young man fostered a profound understanding of adolescent challenges and triumphs. Standish's work often ignited a sense of adventure and ethical conduct at a time when these ideals were particularly resonant. "Frank Merriwell's Danger" is a must-read for those interested in early American literature and the development of the young adult genre. Standish's narrative not only entertains but also imparts valuable lessons on perseverance and integrity, making it an enduring classic for readers of all ages.

    Little Tommy Tucker sang for his supper. 
    What did he sing for? white bread and butter. 
    How could he cut it, without any knife? 
    How could he marry, without any wife? 
    LITTLE TOMMY TUCKER was a waif of the streets. He never remembered having a father or mother or any one to care for him, and so he learned to care for himself. He ate whatever he could get, and slept wherever night overtook him—in an old barrel, a cellar, or, when fortune favored him, he paid a penny for a cot in some rude lodging-house. His life about the streets taught him early how to earn a living by doing odd jobs, and he learned to be sharp in his speech and wise beyond his years.	One morning Tommy crawled out from a box in which he had slept over night, and found that he was hungry. His last meal had consisted of a crust of bread, and he was a growing boy with an appetite. But Tommy was a plucky boy with a lively wit and a way of making his way. People liked him and so he managed to earn a living and eat quite well and ended up as Sir. Tomas Tucker.
