"A Son of the City" by Herman Gastrell Seely is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows John Fletcher, a young boy who embarks on various adventures that depict the joys and challenges of boyhood in an urban environment. As John navigates fishing escapades, school life, friendships, and imaginative daydreams, the story captures the essence of childhood exuberance and innocence. At the start of the book, John Fletcher wakes up at dawn, eager to go fishing despite knowing that his parents would disapprove. As he sneaks out of his house, readers are introduced to his playful and adventurous spirit through his interactions with his friend Bill Silvey. The two boys race to a local park to fish, showcasing their youthful camaraderie and excitement for the outdoors. John's imagination runs wild as he dreams of adventures beyond fishing, and this opening portion sets the tone for the exploration of childhood mischief and the simple delights of life in the city.
