| Summary | "The Story of Dago" by Annie Fellows Johnston is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around an adventurous monkey named Dago who narrates his experiences to a mirror monkey while recounting his life journey from the jungle to a traveling circus and finally to a family in America. Through Dago's perspective, readers encounter themes of family, loss, and adaptation to new environments, with particular focus on the bonds he forms with the children of the household. The opening of the novel introduces Dago as he escapes from an attic room to speak with the mirror monkey, expressing his desire to share his story. He reminisces about his past adventures in the jungle, his capture and training in a circus, and his eventual adoption by a family, where he navigates the challenges of being viewed as a pet. Dago's narrative highlights his longing for his former home and showcases his humorous observations about human behavior and the dynamics of the household. As he recounts his trials and mishaps, the reader is drawn into a whimsical and heartfelt tale that illustrates the complexities of belonging and friendship. This opening sets the stage for Dago's evolving relationship with the family and their struggles as they cope with personal loss. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
