Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Beany, Gangleshanks, and the Tub Having passed for twelve years between the Scylla of whooping cough and mumps, and the Charybdis of chicken-pox and mumps, we arrive at the Golden Age. Then, momentarily, the dream world blends with the world of things as they are. Romance dwells, convenient, in dusty barns and unfrequented attics. A ragman´s horse becomes a worthy stable-mate of Pegasus. Each passing derelict is a potential nobleman or desperado. At no period are our sensibilities more keen. Let him beware who says, "It doesn´t matter. He´s only a little boy." Seldom in later life is misery more poignant or joy sweeter, though the cause be infinitely more weighty. For at twelve causes are limitless. At fifty they are pitilessly defined. Beany, Gangleshanks and the Tub may have lived trivial lives, but they lived them with an intensity which balanced the scales. In most things they merely reflected the grown-ups only with more brutal frankness. Boys, doctors, financiers, explorers, all dig in different fields, but, consciously or not, they seek the same mental - Romance. The difference between twelve and fifty is the price which must be paid to find it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
