About This Book

A series of comic short stories centers on a spirited schoolboy whose inventive mischief and earnest self-importance propel episodes of prankish scheming and domestic misunderstanding. With a loyal circle of friends called the Outlaws and frequent quarrels with family and neighbors, he pursues small triumphs — acquiring a showy silk handkerchief, thwarting or embarrassing rivals, arranging awkward matches, and bungling grown-up affairs — each vignette balancing slapstick mishap with gentle observation of childhood impulse and social expectation.
