About This Book

A collection of short, humorous tales that portray children’s lives through a series of vivid vignettes, ranging from kindergarten mischief and mock pirate adventures to holiday capers and quieter moments of feeling and learning. The stories focus on playground rivalries, inventive play, clashes with authority, tender family scenes, and the small moral and social discoveries that shape childhood, trading sentimentality for gentle irony and comic observation.

By Henry Wallace Phillips
RED SAUNDERS
His Adventures, West and East

There is plenty of dash and adventure in this book, told with a humor whose most delightful quality is its unstudied naturalness. The critics are all laughing, not at the book, but with it.

“Chantay Seechee Red is the sort of cowpuncher it benefits one to meet even between the covers of a book.”—N. Y. Evening Post.

“Mark Twain has written no more delicious stories.”—Philadelphia Inquirer.

“A delightful study of life in the West.”—Newark Call.

“The wind blows through it, and the meaning of it is health and joy.”—N. Y. Sun.

“The creator of Red Saunders has an exuberant sense of humor.”—N. Y. Evening Telegram.
