New York: Grosset and Dunlap, 1914. hardcover. Book VG: shelf wear to boards and spine, ex libris bookplate on front paste down, gift inscription FFEP, text clean, binding tight./DJ VG: chipping/edge wear, age toning, not clipped. Gordon Grant. 8vo 345pp. from front flap: "Nowhere has Booth Tarkington done such finished, exquisite work as in this story of boyhood. The full flavor is not only for the grown man or woman but for boys themselves who never tire of reading of the antics of their own kind. It is a picture of a boy's heart, full of those lovable, humorous tragic things which are locked secrets to older folks without the gift of understanding." #02055.
Sinopsis
Penrod is a collection of comic sketches by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Booth Tarkington that was first published in 1914. The book follows the trials and misadventures of Penrod Schofield, an eleven-year-old boy growing up in the pre-World War I Midwestern United States, in a similar vein to Tom Sawyer. Penrod establishes the characters and the relationships between them who go on to appear in two further books, Penrod and Sam (1916) and Penrod Jashber (1929).
