This wonderful children's book, first published in 1911, is a lighthearted, humorous, and heartwarming picture of boyhood at the turn of the 20th century in rural America. It's a story about a boy, Toby Tyler, and a troupe of traveling circus performers who show up at his house one day. Toby and his friends try to impress them with their own circus act and help them organize an old-fashioned barn-warming. Along the way we learn of the bond between Toby and Old Ben, the circus driver. All the characters have their own quirks, and we laugh at them and with them throughout their exploits.This book contains 15 chapters and 9 color illustrations.Ephalant Press Revived Editions is dedicated to bringing great books from bygone eras back to life as digital editions, so you and your children can discover, or rediscover, the simple pleasure of these works, which take you back to simpler times and fundamental values.Bringing these books into the digital world requires careful editing, correction, and formatting to make the text accurate and faithful to the original.
