Ten Weeks with a Circus : being the story of Toby Tyler
Overview
Toby Tyler is ten years old and tired of being told what to do, so when the circus comes to town and a smooth-talking candy-butcher offers him a place, he climbs aboard the wagons in the night.
What he finds is not the paradise he pictured - the hours are long, the men are hard, and home tugs at him across the miles - but he finds, too, a friend in a little monkey named Mr. Stubbs.
First published in 1881, Toby Tyler; or, Ten Weeks with a Circus has never been out of print. James Otis, who had managed small traveling shows himself, told it without a grain of sugar, and generations of readers have loved and wept over it ever since.
This Lightbound Library edition sets the complete text afresh, bound behind an original painting.
