A STORY OF CHILDS NAME "BARTY CRUSOE AND HIS MAN SATURDAY" BY FRANCES HODGSON BURNETT WAS PUBLISHED IN 1909. SAME AUTHOR OF "LITTLE LORD FAUNTLEROY," "THE LITTLE PRINCESS," "THE GOOD WOLF," ETC.APART OF BOOKI hope you remember that I told you that the story of Barty and the Good Wolf was the kind of story which could go on and on, and that when it stopped it could begin again.It was like that when Tim's mother told it to Tim, and really that was what Tim liked best about it—that sudden way it 2 had of beginning all over again with something new just when you felt quite mournful because you thought it had come to an end. There are very few stories like that,—very few indeed,—so you have to be thankful when you find one.This new part began with Barty finding an old book in the attic of his house. He liked the attic because you never knew what you might find there. Once he had even found an old sword which had belonged to his grandfather and which might have killed a man if his grandfather had worn it in war.3One rainy day he found the book. It was a rather fat book, and it had been read so much that it was falling to pieces. On the first page there was a picture of a very queer looking man. He was dressed in clothes made of goat skin; he carried a gun on one shoulder and a parrot on the other, and his name was printed under the picture and it was—Robinson Crusoe.Now, Barty was a very good reader for his age. He had to spell very few words when he read aloud, so he sat down at once on the attic floor and began to read about Robinson Crusoe as fast as ever he 4 could. That day he was late to his dinner and was late for bed, and as the days went on he was late so often that his mother thought he must be losing his appetite. But he was not. He was only so delighted with Robinson Crusoe that he could not remember the time.That week the Good Wolf was away on very important business, and if Barty had not had his wonderful book to read he might have felt lonely. The Good Wolf had taught him a special little tune to play on his whistle when he wanted to call him without calling all the other animals.

Admirers of Mrs. Burnett's "The Good Wolf'' will welcome a continuation of many of its characters in "Barty Crusoe," together with a host of new ones, such as the little monkey, "Saturday," the "Perfectly Polite Pirates," and their preceptor, "Baboo Bajorum," a gorilla who made them polite! Imagine a small boy who, reading "Robinson Crusoe," was able immediately to test some of the adventures through the kindly aid of the '' Good Wolf!'

Barty Crusoe and His Man Saturday by by Frances Hodgson Burnett, first published in 1909. This is the story of a young boy named Barty, who after reading Robinson Crusoe, decides he wants to be on a desert island as well. He has a magical friend, the Good Wolf, who's able to make that happen for him. What kind of adventures will he be able to go on? Admirers of Mrs. Burnett's "The Good Wolf'' will welcome a continuation of many of its characters in "Barty Crusoe," together with a host of new ones, such as the little monkey, "Saturday," the "Perfectly Polite Pirates," and their preceptor, "Baboo Bajorum," a gorilla who made them polite! Imagine a small boy who, reading "Robinson Crusoe," was able immediately to test some of the adventures through the kindly aid of the '' Good Wolf!'' It is pleasant to watch the apparent ease with which Mrs. Burnett imagines the inconsequential; her description of the battle between the polite and the impolite pirates is ridiculously - spirited. Frances Eliza Hodgson Burnett (1849–1924) was an English playwright and author. She is best known for her children's stories, in particular The Secret Garden, A Little Princess, and Little Lord Fauntleroy.
