Synopsis

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.

    The speckled hen laid 12 eggs in her hidden nest at the top of the hay pile in the barn and the very last one, whom she called Humpty Dumpty having run out of names, was the largest of all. Now you may not know that eggs can talk but they can. The nest was very crowded and so the eggs began kicking each other to get more space for themselves. Humpty Dumpty, being on the very edge of the next, was kicked completely out and then decided to look about the wide world to see what he could see. You will need to listen to this story to know what happens next but I assure you it is very exciting and involves a beautiful princess and a king and a happy marriage not to mention the king's horses. And Humpty was involved in all of it. !!!
