Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Flight of Pony Baker is a novel for children which tells the story of a young boy named Pony Baker who, throughout the book, attempts to run away from his home where he lives with his mother, father, and five sisters. The setting of the story is "fifty years ago" in the Boy's Town of Ohio, the state where Howells was born and raised. Pony lives in the Boy's Town with his mother, father, and five sisters, whom his mother always wants him to play with. Pony's mother is very overprotective of Pony, which makes her a bad mother when it comes to having fun. Pony's father has done some things that have given Pony the right to run away as well. An older boy named Jim Leonard suggests that Pony go with the Indians and that the Indians would like him and then adopt him into their tribe. Extract: "If there was any fellow in the Boy's Town fifty years ago who had a good reason to run off it was Pony Baker. Pony was not his real name; it was what the boys called him, because there were so many fellows who had to be told apart, as Big Joe and Little Joe, and Big John and Little John, and Big Bill and Little Bill, that they got tired of telling boys apart that way; and after one of the boys called him Pony Baker, so that you could know him from his cousin Frank Baker, nobody ever called him anything else.” William Dean Howells (1837-1920) was an American realist author, literary critic, and playwright.

This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Dean Howells' charming story of a young boy named Frank Baker, who is nicknamed 'Pony'. Throughout the story, the rascally lad attempts to escape from his family home. Naturally curious but also mischievous, the young Pony feels oppressed by his overprotective mother. Desiring freedom and adventure, he dreams of escaping his family life and school for good. Eventually, Pony gains the encouragement and assistance of his friends, who are amused by his predicament. The members of the group playfully pressure Pony into going through with his ambition, and take increasing interest in his attempts. Throughout this whimsical story, Pony attempts to escape home with a passing company of Native Americans, a circus, and down the nearby river on a raft. We are left in suspense; each time, it appears that Pony is going to succeed in absconding the town only for him to be thwarted by sheer happenstance. Written around the turn of the 20th century, The Flight of Pony Baker is brimming with the frontier spirit and independence that characterized the United States at the time. Drawing on incidents from his own childhood, the author attempts to reflect life in small town America of the era, where the great outdoors formed a large part of life for children.

Book excerpt: The background of Mrs. Farrell is the New England farm boarding house, which was the only form of simple country sojourn before summer cottages were imagined, and it is interesting to compare it with the farm boarding in The Vacation of the Kelwyns, written so many years after and giving a much fuller study of the country people. The farmhouse of this story, kept by the finer type of New England farmers, must, I think, have been the sort of summer place that my parents were always seeking, and the Kelwyns' experience a picture of what they more often found. In the latter book the country people are of much poorer stuff than the Woodwards, but one feels in his handling of them the greater tenderness and understanding that age teaches, and youth, no matter how sympathetic, cannot compass--From the introduction.
