Toby Tyler: Or, Ten Weeks with a Circus is a classic story beloved by generation after generation of children. Author James Otis actually traveled with the Phineas T. Barnum Circus as a young reporter, and he used his firsthand knowledge to acquaint children with the behind-the-scenes details of what the circus is really like, while introducing the unforgettable character of Toby Tyler.
James Otis Kaler (1848–1912) was an American journalist and author of children’s literature. He used the pen name James Otis.
Reviews
“Inspired…youthful voice and astute sense of timing…a contemporary flavor that resonates with today’s children. He’s able to express Toby’s wonderful trusting nature, along with his optimism, loneliness and pluck, with equal ease. Toby’s affection for his monkey, Mr. Stubbs, is beautifully captured by Purinton.”
