This coming-of-age story follows the adventures of two enterprising newsboys as they navigate the challenges of poverty, friendship, and ambition. Webster's straightforward yet vibrant prose encapsulates the zeitgeist of early 20th-century America, illustrating the trials faced by young boys striving for success while revealing broader social truths about class and opportunity. The narrative is enriched by a sense of camaraderie and a relentless spirit of resilience, characteristic of Webster's youth-centered works. Frank V. Webster, a prominent author of children's literature in the early 1900s, drew inspiration from his own experiences and observations of street life. His profound empathy for marginalized youth is evident in this story, as he portrays the aspirations and dilemmas of young characters with authenticity and respect. Webster's background in journalism also imparts a realistic touch to his narrative, engaging readers with both the excitement and harsh realities of city life. I recommend "The Newsboy Partners; Or, Who Was Dick Box?" to readers seeking an insightful, adventurous tale that explores important themes of friendship, integrity, and perseverance. This book provides not only entertainment but also a poignant reflection on the social fabric of its time, making it a must-read for fans of classic juvenile literature.

The Raven and the Dove Big Fish...

From the snake in the Garden of Eden to the lost sheep in Luke's parable, stories about fish and birds, rams and goats abound. We read about them, but they have no voice of their own.  Here we allow the raven and the dove on Noah's ark, the big fish that swallowed Jonah, and the donkey on which Balaam rode, to be the narrators of their own stories, to inform us and help us to re-imagine our stories. We learn something about the intrinsic value of all living beings, and something about ourselves.
