Excerpt from Pee-Wee Harris in LuckWhenever Pee-wee Harris was given the choice of two desserts he invariably chose both. This policy, which eliminated all possibility Of vain regrets, had worked so well that he applied it on all occasions where a difficult choice was involved, on the wise principle that if he took everything he would not lose much.Thus, when the Sunday School picnic with its ice cream and cake conflicted with the troops' hike, Pee-wee saved the day and much Of the ice cream by proposing that they hike to the scene of the picnic.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

All readers of the Tom Slade and the Roy Blakeley books are acquainted with Pee-wee Harris. These stories record the true facts concerning his size (what there is of it) and his heroism (such as it is), his voice, his clothes, his appetite, his friends, his enemiesm his victims. Together with the thrilling narrative of how he foiled, baffled, circumvented and triumphed over everything and everybody (except where he failed) and how even when he failed he succeeded. The whole recoded in a series of screams and told with neither muffler nor cut-out.

Excerpt from Pee-Wee HarrisA lot of scouts said I was put out of the Tom Slade Series and so I had to go into the Roy Blake ley Series. And a lot of them said I was put out of the Roy Blakeley Series and that on account of that I started a series of my own. They said I had to get the author who wrote up Tom Slade's adventures to help me. And a lot of them said if I didn't look out, I'd be put out of this series, too.That shows how much sense they have, because how can a person that's the main thing in a thing put himself out of that thing? Anyway, I'd like to see anybody put me out of this series. If they tried that it would be the best part of all the stories.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Pee Wee Harris CHAPTER I THE BATTLE OF THE BANANA PEE-WEE HARRIS, mascot of the Raven Patrol, First Bridgeboro Troop, sat upon the lowest limb of the tree in front of his home eating a banana. To maintain his balance it was necessary for him to keep a tight hold with one hand on a knotty projection of the trunk while with the other he clutched his luscious refreshment. The safety of his small form as he sat on the shaky limb depended upon his hold of the trunk, while the tremendous responsibility of holding his banana devolved upon the other hand. Pee-wee was so much smaller than he should have been and the banana so much larger than it should have been that they might almost be said to have been of the same size. The slender limb on which Pee-wee sat trembled and creaked with each enormous bite that he took. The bright morning sunlight, wriggling through the foliage overhead, picked out the round face and curly hair of our young hero and showed him in all his pristine glory, frowning a terrible frown, clinging for dear life with one hand and engaged in his customary occupation of eating.
