A brisk, globe-trotting caper with a heart as bold as the maps it travels. Dick Merriwell's Pranks; Or, Lively Times In The Orient invites young readers to follow a quick-witted hero through sunlit bazaars, misty shores, and the bustling energy of the Orient, where clever schemes meet genuine courage. This restored edition unlocks a vivid slice of late nineteenth century america's imagination-an adventure in which boys' adventure tales meet travel adventure stories, wrapped in the easy charm of Horatio Alger-style uplift. The book blends humour, mischief, and resourcefulness against a backdrop of Asia travel setting and cultural misunderstanding, delivering accessible thrills while inviting readers to reflect on character, consequence, and friendship. It is both a fine example of colonial era pulp and a richly illustrated adventure collection that rewards repeat encounters and careful reading alike. For casual readers and classic-literature collectors, this title is a cultural treasure: out of print for decades, now republished by Alpha Editions, restored for today's and future generations, and offered as more than a reprint-a genuine collector's item. It speaks to fans of pulpy escapades and to libraries seeking authentic school-friendly fare, providing a window into a genre that shaped American popular literature and travel imagination in the late nineteenth century. A spirited, enduring voyage-perfect for classrooms, tired shelves, and new shelves alike.
