Synopsis

In "Follow My Leader: The Boys of Templeton," Talbot Baines Reed masterfully weaves a narrative that immerses readers in the life of a young boy navigating the complexities of childhood and adolescence. Set against the backdrop of Victorian England, this novel combines adventure and moral lessons, employing a lively, accessible prose style that engages both young readers and adults alike. Reed'Äôs deft characterization and rich descriptions portray the camaraderie and mischief of a group of boys at Templeton, simultaneously reflecting the social norms and values of the period, particularly concerning leadership, loyalty, and personal growth. Talbot Baines Reed was a prominent figure in children's literature during the late 19th century, known for his keen understanding of boys' lives and the challenges they faced. His background in teaching and his experiences with youth culture informed his storytelling, guiding readers through moral quandaries and adventurous escapades, a blend that was both instructive and entertaining. Reed'Äôs upbringing and educational pursuits likely shaped his advocacy for adventure and self-discovery within the framework of societal expectations. This enchanting tale not only chronicles the adventures of its youthful protagonists but also serves as a profound exploration of moral integrity and personal responsibility. "Follow My Leader" is a delightful read for anyone seeking to understand the core values of youth during the era or relive the innocence of childhood through a beautifully crafted narrative.

Ever since her mother died and her father moved on, she has lived with her cat Pesto in a cart just outside town. Rizka walks around Greater Dunitsa in her ragbag clothes, playing sharp-witted tricks on deserving rogues. The leaders are convinced she is bad for business. The day the chief councilor finds his roast chicken in Pesto's hungry jaws is too much for the frustrated man. He hatches a fail-safe plan to get rid of the sassy gypsy girl and her troublesome pet. But he doesn't plan on Rizka's brains or is it brasiness? Wherever there is trouble, Rizka is there, offering her own hilarious solutions. Award-winning children's author Lloyd Alexander packs this entertaining tale with fun-filled farce and and elegant comedy. Narrator Ron Keith's sunny interpretation celebrates all the good natured high jinks and warm-hearted surprises.
