"Mr. Stubbs's Brother" by James Otis is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. The story serves as a sequel to "Toby Tyler" and revolves around Toby's adventures as he and his friends try to start their own amateur circus. The main character, Toby Tyler, is joined by his companions, including Reddy and Bob, who are eager to create a whimsical show despite their limited resources and the struggles they face along the way. The opening of the story sets the stage for Toby's reluctance to engage in circus activities after a past experience left him with bittersweet memories, especially surrounding his beloved monkey, Mr. Stubbs. In this first chapter, we see his friends' enthusiastic plans for an amateur circus, and Toby's eventual commitment to the idea as he reflects on his past and the fun they could have. As the boys brainstorm how to execute their circus dreams, they discuss various animals and performers, illustrating their innocence and creativity. This introduction showcases themes of friendship, creativity, and the bittersweet nature of growing up, inviting readers into a nostalgic and engaging narrative.
