Beschreibung

In "The Moving Picture Boys at Panama; Or, Stirring Adventures Along the Great Canal," Victor Appleton masterfully combines adventure, youthful ambition, and the burgeoning world of cinema. Set against the backdrop of the construction of the Panama Canal, this tale captures the imaginations of young readers through its vivid descriptions and fast-paced narrative. Appleton employs a straightforward yet engaging literary style, characteristic of early 20th-century boys' adventure fiction, offering a unique insight into the intersection of technological progress and entertainment as the moving picture industry begins to take shape during this era. Victor Appleton, a pseudonym used by the prolific author Harriette M. Comstock, was known for his penchant for crafting stories that emphasized heroism and ingenuity. Growing up in a time when cinema was revolutionizing storytelling, Appleton'Äôs experiences and interests undoubtedly influenced his decision to weave a narrative about young filmmakers attracted to the grandeur of the Panama Canal. His background in adventure-themed literature dovetails with society'Äôs fascination with both exploration and the nascent film industry. This book is highly recommended for readers who appreciate a blend of adventure, historical significance, and the vibrant spirit of youth. Appleton's engaging storytelling and vivid scenarios not only entertain but also educate young readers about a pivotal moment in history, making it a captivating addition to any literary collection.

    Mary was the beloved daughter of a sailor and his wife who lived on a hill close to the sea. The rhyme calls her "Mistress Mary, quite contrary" because sad to say she was a contrary child often doing the exact opposite of what her mother and father advised for no reason but that she did not wish to follow their advice. But her parents loved her and knew that she would some day grow out of this peevish behavior. One day her father and brothers were to leave on a long sea journey and she asked him "	And how long will you be gone, papa?" He responded Why, just this, sweetheart," returned the sailor gravely; "all the time that it takes the cowslips and dingle-bells and cockle-shells to sprout from the ground, and grow big and strong, and blossom into flower, and, yes—to wither and die away again—all that time shall your brothers and I sail the seas. But when the cold winds begin to blow, and the flowers are gone, then, God willing, we shall come back to you; and by that time you may have grown wiser and bigger, and I am sure you will have grown older. So one more kiss, sweetheart, and then we must go, for our time is up." 
    After he left, Mistress Mary decided to plant a garden of these flowers to know when her father and brothers would return and that garden is what the poem is talking about. But it did not happen as she expected! Oh no! Listen to this delightful story to see how Mary learned to not be so contrary.

    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.
