A timeless novel in the spirited tradition of The Adventures of Tom
Sawyer and Huckleberry FinnOne of the most popular American authors
of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Pulitzer
Prize winner Booth Tarkington was acclaimed for his novels set in
small Midwestern towns. Penrod tells of a boy growing up in
Indianapolis at the turn of the twentieth century. His friends and
his dog accompany him on his many jaunts, from the stage as "the
Child Sir Lancelot," to the playground, to school. They make names
for themselves as "bad boys" who always have the most fun. Nearly a
century after it was first published to incredible popularity and
acclaim, Penrod remains wildly funny and entertaining to adults and
children alike. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the
leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking
world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a
global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across
genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide
authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by
distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as
up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
