Summary | "Tom the Telephone Boy; or, The Mystery of a Message" by Frank V. Webster is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on Tom Baldwin, a young boy who takes on a job as a telephone boy at a busy book emporium while helping to support his family following the death of his father. The narrative explores his experiences in this role, which includes adventures, challenges, and the unfolding mystery surrounding a quirky customer, Dr. Spidderkins. The beginning of the book introduces Tom as an eager and lively character who has just landed a new job at Townsend’s Book Emporium in Boston. Excited to contribute to the family after facing tough economic conditions, Tom joyfully shares the news with his mother and aunt. As he settles into his work, he encounters the eccentric Dr. Spidderkins, who exhibits peculiar behaviors, hinting at the potential for a mystery to unfold. Tom's initial excitement gives way to the challenges of his new responsibilities, including navigating the busy environment and dealing with various eccentric characters. This sets the stage for further adventures as Tom adapts to his role and uncovers a larger story connected to Dr. Spidderkins. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
