Description: Publisher's blue cloth with yellow titles and front decoration; 12mo; 7.5 inches tall; x [1] 321, blank pages. The bindings are tight and square. Text clean, light even age-toning. Moderate shelf handling wear with fading of the cloth on the perimeter and spine; top spine tip rubbed. Illustrations by Gordon Grant. First Edition, First Printing. Set in the fictional Midwestern town of Indianapolis, the book also provides a snapshot of small-town American life in the early 20th century. The humor and youthful energy of the novel contrast with moments of emotional depth, as Penrod navigates the challenges of growing up, including the complexities of friendships, family dynamics, and societal expectations. Tarkington's portrayal of Penrod and his peers remains one of the most beloved depictions of boyhood in American literature, and Penrod Jashber continues the exploration of this theme with wit and nostalgia. Subjects: Childhood, Boyhood, Friendship, Family, Small-Town America, Coming-of-Age, Humor.
