Books with title Pee-Wee Harris Adrift

The diminutive but debonair Pee-Wee visits his aunt and uncle's farm, and partners with an orphan girl under their care to start a refreshment shack along the country road. Sales are slow until the highway bridge mysteriously burns down and the road becomes a thoroughfare, leading to a series of madcap adventures. Pee Wee Harris is the first audiobook by multi-million selling author Percy Keese Fitzhugh, whose books emphasize adventure, responsibility and service to others, while presenting clever plots marked with humor and innocent fun.

Percy Keese Fitzhugh (1876-1950) was an American author. The bulk of his work, having a Boy Scouting theme, revolves around the fictional town of Bridgeboro, New Jersey. Characters included Pee-Wee Harris, Tom Slade, Roy Blakely, and Westy Martin. Fitzhugh's Scouting based books were very popular with children and adults. His characters became so real to his readers that it was not uncommon for Percy to receive fan mail addressed to the characters themselves.

Written and first published in 1922, Pee-Wee Harris is the first story in the line of more than ten narratives, all featuring the same protagonist, tiny Pee-Wee with an enormous appetite and always ready for new adventures.Pee-Wee, the title character of many of Fitzhugh's stories, is a young boy from Bridgeboro, New Jersey - an existing town, but given a description that resembles Fitzhugh's own home town, Hackensack, also in New Jersey. He might be small in stature, but he is an extremely enthusiastic, well-trained and able boy scout who always wears one of his scout uniforms and always carries the tools he may need in case he is faced with difficulties or needs to escape from somewhere, such as a pocket knife, a compass and a small axe that he carries around on his belt. In this first story about his adventures, Pee-Wee is off to visit relatives in a small New Jersey village called Everdoze. Pee-Wee finds the village as sleepy as its name indicates and he quickly gets down to work to shake up the villagers. While he is about it, he makes new friends and becomes involved into all sorts of adventures.Fitzhugh's Pee-Wee stories enjoyed great popularity among both adults and children when they were first published and they continue to be popular in our days as well. All his stories, whether they are part of the Pee-Wee series or of the author's other scouting series, are credible, they pose problems that young boys can be faced with in reality, therefore they are not just highly entertaining, but educational as well. As for the style of the stories, Fitzhugh is an excellent storyteller who will make you laugh out loud and the jokes come not only from the adventures that the character gets into, but also from the way those adventures are presented.

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.
