The narrative centers around a young boy'Äôs adventures with his dog, Lion Ben, combining elements of coming-of-age with adventure, infused with rich regional detail and vivid characterization. Kellogg's prose is imbued with a sense of immediacy and emotional poignancy, drawing readers into the intimate experiences and moral dilemmas faced by the characters. This book is notable for its exploration of themes such as friendship, loyalty, and the complexities of human-animal bonds, reflective of the prevailing Victorian values and sentiments of the time it was written. Elijah Kellogg, a prominent American author and a preacher, drew from his rich understanding of human nature and morality to craft tales that resonate with children and adults alike. His experiences in New England and his profound belief in the power of moral storytelling shaped his narratives. Kellogg'Äôs commitment to moral instruction, coupled with his love for nature and animals, is evident throughout his work, making him a significant figure in 19th-century children's literature.

Old King Cole - Old King Cole...

L. Frank Baum

Old King Cole was a merry old soul, 
And a merry old soul was he; 
He called for his pipe and he called for his bowl 
And he called for his fiddlers three 
"OLD KING COLE was not always a king, nor was he born a member of any royal family. It was only chance—"hard luck" he used to call it—that made him a king at all. He had always been a poor man, being the son of an apple peddler, who died and left him nothing but a donkey and a fiddle. But that was enough for Cole, who never bothered his head about the world's goods, but took things as they came and refused to worry about anything." and so begins the story of how this happy soul became the king of a country by accident.
