About This Book

The work collects a series of illustrated comic verses that recount the escalating pranks of two mischievous boys. Each short episode describes a different trick — from luring a widow's poultry and stealing roasted birds to sabotaging a bridge and pouring explosive powder into a clergyman's pipe — portraying chaotic results, startled victims, and physical comedy. The poems pair brisk, rhymed narrative with vivid pictures to emphasize action, noise, and the unintended consequences that follow youthful misbehavior.

With all the original illustrations, a sketch of the author's life, and a portrait. 12mo. $2.00
