About this edition

Toby Tyler is ten years old and tired of being told what to do, so when the circus comes to town and a smooth-talking candy-butcher offers him a place, he climbs aboard the wagons in the night. What he finds is not the paradise he pictured. The hours are long, the men are hard, and home tugs at him across the miles. But he finds, too, a friend in a little monkey named Mr. Stubbs.

First published in 1881, Toby Tyler; or, Ten Weeks with a Circus has never been out of print. James Otis, who had managed small traveling shows himself, told it without a grain of sugar, and generations of readers have loved and wept over it ever since. This Lightbound Library edition sets the complete text afresh, bound behind an original painting.
