All the original familiar illustrations by WH Fry are included: 3 color plates, 21 black-and-white drawings. Frances Trego Montgomery said that she got the ideas for her books by inviting groups of children to her house “between dinner and their bed time.” Together they would spin yarns and develop stories. Her book, The Wonderful Electric Elephant (1903), is considered the first science fiction novel for children.

The popular author of the famous Billy Whiskers books now writes a tale of a very active – and sometimes naughty Zip to whom the unusual and unexpected is always happening. He is a splendid story-book play fellow for every lad and lass. If you own, or perhaps more accurately, are owned by smooth-haired Fox Terrier, or even a Rat Terrier, Zip is the book for you. Originally published in 1917 by Saalfield, ‘Zip,’ by Frances Trego Montgomery, tells the story of a frisky terrier to whom the unusual and unexpected is always happening. It includes interludes with a little girl, a monkey and a turkey. This collection of stories appeared serially in the Detroit News Tribune.

Excerpt from Frances and the Irrepressibles at Buena Vista FarmThese children enjoyed far better going to this farm than to the seashore, moun tains, or any fashionable resort. It was one of the most attractive places one could imagine for,healthy, romping, growing children to pass a summer in, as there was everything for them to have fun with from fishing and sailing on the lake to riding on loads of hay and building log cabins in the woods. These were some of the pas times the older children enjoyed while the younger ones were happy playing round the house. There always were new little kittens and puppies to be inspected each year and divided among the youngsters after much arguing and disputing as to which was the prettiest, and as to who was entitled to first choice. Then there were the little, fluffy, yellow chickens just out of their shells, and last but not least, there was the swing; yes, the swing, and such a glorious one you never saw in all your life, so I am going to describe it to you minutely. In the first place it was hung from a high curved limb of a tall elm tree, so high that no ladder on the farm could reach it, so they had to wait until the men came along to mend the telegraph wires, when, having boots with long nails in them to help them climb the poles, Miss Amelia would ask them to put up the rope for the swing. The advantage of having such a long rope was that the swing went so high that the earth seemed dropping away and one could see across the lake at the bottom _of the hill and far away over the tree tops for miles and miles where the country faded into a purple mist. This swing was the beloved object of all the children who came to the farm and was the first thing they went to on arriving.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Zip belongs to Dr. Elsworth, who lives in the big, white house with the green blinds on the edge of the village of Maplewood. And at the present minute he is asleep on the front porch on a soft cushion in an old-fashioned rocking-chair that is swaying gently to and fro, dreaming of the days when he was a puppy chasing the white spot on the end of his tail, thinking it was something following him.
