William Clarke first published this book on nineteenth-century childhood in 1829 in Boston; it is reproduced here in this edition, bringing to life the pastimes of boyhood nearly two centuries ago. The Boy’s Own Book will introduce students to nineteenth-century youth and familiarize them with the sports, games, advice and other activities available to Victorian boys in New England. |
