A wonderful classic and a prime example of literature in the early 19th century. It's told in a series of episodes from 1913 that center around two twelve year old boys and the mores of small-town America at a time when homes still had carriage houses in the back -- but no carriages or horses.
The author explores the bumptious rambles of a youth named Penrod, accompanied by his loyal yet aging dog Duke, his best friend Sam Williams, and two African Americans across the alley, Herman and Verman. A charming and hilarious classic of small town boy's life in pre-World War I in America and a must for any serious bookworm.
