The author of this book, Henry Shute (Henry Augustus Shute) was born and lived in Exeter, New Hampshire. He was a graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy and Harvard University . He was a lawyer and a judge of the municipal court. In the 1890s, the Exeter News-Letter began publishing a weekly column of Shute's recollections of his boyhood in Exeter. These were self-published by Shute under the titles of "Several Hard Characters" (1898) and "Neighborhood Sketches" (1901). In 1902, his third book, The Real Diary of a Real Boy was published which provided Shute with national recognition. He went on to write a total of twenty popular books thereafter.

Excerpt from Plupy the Real BoyIf people only knew enough to cut down little trees instead of big ones, they would be little enough for kindlings anyway, and it was easier to cut up little ones than big ones. When he was a man he would never make his boy split kindlings, but would buy them all split.He bet his father would feel bad if he drowned himself. He guessed he would miss him when he was gone. And his mother too, she might have said something when his father told him to stay in.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
