Condizione: GOOD. First edition. An adventure novel for older children by this prolific writer, one which begins when Jack and a two year old baby are found adrift in a lifeboat off the coast of Maine after a ship's explosion. Jack, who has a twisted back, was the cabin boy and Louis, the baby, was the son of the ship's captain. After Farmer Pratt and his son Tom discover them on the beach, Pratt plans on taking them to the poorhouse but Jack's quick thinking and bravery lead him to escape from that fate. Jack's adventures show his strong sense of responsibility for little Louis, despite the conflict with Farmer Pratt, who is determined to return them to a life devoid of freedom. As Jack seeks shelter with Aunt Nancy, they develop a bond, but the ongoing threat from Farmer Pratt looms over them.

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. 1st Edition? (see notes).

(frontispiece + 7 b&w illustrated plates) Boys' historical adventure fiction, set during the Revolutionary War. The author (1848-1912) got his first job as a journalist at age 13. His first book, which would remain his best-known work, was "Toby Tyler; or, Ten Weeks with a Circus" (1881). Wikipedia: "Following the book's success he went on to author numerous other children's books, mostly historical and adventure novels. Like most writers of his era, he was astonishingly prolific, and a total of nearly 200 books by him have been identified. Most were signed with the Otis name, but he also used the pen names Walter Morris, Lt. James K. Orton, Harry Prentice, and Amy Prentice." (As collectors know, juvenile fiction can be bibliographically very complicated, and is not a specialty of mine, so I cannot authoritatively state this to be the first printing. If you would like additional details to make that determination for yourself, please inquire and I'll be glad to supply them.). Illustrated by L.J. Bridgman (illustratore). …

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. No Jacket. First ( No Additional printings). Original green cloth on boards. Surface damage to lower front joint. Previous owner's name. Two line drawings in the text suggest that there might have been a frontispiece. Seventeen-year-old Bob is despondent about not being able to afford a new gun to take on a local hunting trip. Then his cousin discloses that his father might take them on a trip to Africa. This story is only one of dozens put forth by this author who lived from 1848-1912. Remembering his Toby Tyler as one of my childhood favorites, I was taken aback by my aversion to the clumsy, drawn-out syntax of Captured by Zulus. The author is credited with many early adventure stories. It is even suggested that this book might have inspired Edgar Rice Burroughs to write the Tarzan books. 282 pp. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Book.…
