My father is always talking about how a dog can be very educational for a boy. This is one reason I got a cat. My father talks a lot anyway. Maybe being a lawyer he gets in the habit. Also, he’s a small guy with very little gray curly hair, so maybe he thinks he’s got to roar a lot to make up for not being a big hairy tough guy. Mom is thin and quiet, and when anything upsets her, she gets asthma. In the apartment—we live right in the middle of New York City—we don’t have any heavy drapes or rugs, and Mom never fries any food because the doctors figure dust and smoke make her asthma worse. I don’t think it’s dust; I think it’s Pop’s roaring. The big hassle that led to me getting Cat came when I earned some extra money baby-sitting for a little boy around the corner on Gramercy Park. I spent the money on a Belafonte record. This record has one piece about a father telling his son about the birds and the bees. I think it’s funny. Pop blows his stack.

Deirdre is a young girl who faces a challenge that all of us have met at one time or another; the loss of comfort and fear of the unknown. She is helped by friends she didn’t even no she had. Because of Deirdre, these friends embark on a journey of their own. Together they take you on a trek that is both ordinary and magical. All of this takes place in a theme park called Legend World. The story leaves out enough that you can use your own imagination as to what this park might include. Originally the story was supposed to be based on an existing park. However, permission was not granted to use it in the story, so many of its components had to be altered. Thus Legend World was born and invites you to see what can happen inside. Come and meet the World Legenders. How do they come to Deirdre’s aid?

Ten-year-old Tommy, unable to walk without supports since birth, lives with his gran on the edge of a large forest. His life changes after he encounters a run-down cottage belonging to an old lady living on the far side, her only companion being, Saber, a big, black cat.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
