| Summary | "Toby Tyler; Or, Ten Weeks with a Circus" by James Otis is a children's novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around a young boy named Toby Tyler who longs for adventure and ultimately runs away to join a traveling circus, hoping for a life full of fun and excitement. At the start of the narrative, Toby is introduced in a small town where he watches the circus set up. A sweet encounter with a candy vendor reveals his dreams and dissatisfaction with his life, particularly with his Uncle Daniel, who seems to be quite strict. As he navigates the circus scene, Toby's eagerness to become part of the circus life grows, leading him to accept a job as a candy vendor's assistant. However, Toby quickly realizes that the glamorous life he envisioned is fraught with challenges, particularly in dealing with his gruff employer, Job Lord. The opening portion sets the stage for Toby's adventure, where he not only grapples with the realities of circus life, but also begins to form a bond with an old monkey named Mr. Stubbs, hinting at the friendships and lessons to come during his circus journey.
