Beschreibung

In "Jack the Runaway; or, On the Road with a Circus," Frank V. Webster weaves an engaging tale centered on the adventures of a young boy named Jack, who escapes an unfulfilling life to join a traveling circus. The narrative is characterized by its vivid descriptions, capturing the excitement and challenges of life on the road, while employing a straightforward yet charming literary style that resonates with young readers. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, the book reflects themes of freedom, identity, and the pursuit of adventure, drawing from the cultural zeitgeist surrounding the fascination with circuses during that era. Frank V. Webster, a prolific writer of children's literature, often explored themes of adventure and self-discovery in his works. His own background, marked by a love for travel and an appreciation for the whimsical nature of circus life, undoubtedly influenced his decision to craft this story. Through his experiences and keen observations, Webster invites readers to experience the thrill of the unknown, echoing a universal yearning for escape and exploration in youth. This delightful narrative is perfect for young readers seeking both adventure and warmth in their literature. "Jack the Runaway" captivates with its adventurous spirit while encouraging readers to embrace their own journeys. For anyone interested in classic children's tales that celebrate courage and curiosity, Webster's work stands as a timeless recommendation.

    Prince Harvey had a great life. 
    He was very handsome (some would say, too handsome for his own good). He was heavily doted on by his parents, and the ladies were crazy about him. 
    Still, he had a good heart. 
    He spent his days swimming, fishing, practising his target shooting, and getting up to general high jinks with his cousin and best friend, Ralphie. He also enjoyed tearing about the kingdom on Black Terror (ironically, a rather timid horse). 
    Until, one day, he got on the heretofore good witch Bettina’s nerves so much that she turned him into a scarecrow and banished him to an unknown apple orchard. 
    (Well, it was unknown to Harvey. Obviously the owners of the orchard knew about it). 
    What a pickle! 
    Meanwhile, the princess of a neighbouring kingdom had her own set of problems. She was getting into the questionable habit of discussing those problems, and everything else dear to her heart, with the new resident scarecrow. 
    What does fate have in store for these two?

    The Wonderful O tells of a man named Black who despised the letter "O." He deleted it from his language and omitted it from his words. Opals, moonstones, owls, and oaks could not possibly be his items of choice. Instead, he preferred emeralds, rubies, sapphires, and maps since they contained not a single "O" among them. Soon he wanted his entire village to omit the letter "O," but the villagers found words they would not do without—words such as HOPE, LOVE, VALOR, and the most important one of all…
