Barbers, Indians, and a Frostbitten Joke

I Wish and I Will Rise to Manhood in Story Form
A collage of children’s tales and vignettes from Harper’s Young People and other sources. It links two twins, one ambitious for wealth and fame and the other content with pluck, then shifts to sketches of quirky dollies, a parlor game tale, and a boy named Banjer with a squeaky voice shaping a child’s discipline. It also includes scattered anecdotes about Marjorie and Kathrine with their wooden dollies, a fairylike exchange with Uncle Ed, and a rustic tale of Brer Rabbit and a farmer boy, all in a late 19th century American magazine style.
