About This Book

A young boy leaves rural life for the city, where a series of light, humorous episodes trace his introduction to urban society and manners. Guided by parents and relatives, he encounters debutante gatherings, artists' studios, shopping excursions, and a budding romantic fancy, each occasion used to teach politeness, thrift, honesty, and seemly conduct. Scenes alternate comic misunderstandings with practical instruction aimed at both children and parents, offering concrete rules of behavior and gentle moral lessons conveyed through playful narrative and illustrations.
