Penrod Jashber

Set in a small Midwestern city, the story follows 11-year-old Penrod Jashber, who has developed a knack for solving mysteries. This charming tale, reminiscent of Mark Twain's work, is the third installment in Tarkington's "Penrod Series," building on the adventures from the earlier novels. Celebrated for his contributions to American literature during the early 20th century, Tarkington's storytelling captures the essence of youth and curiosity. This new edition also includes a biography from "Encyclopædia Britannica" (1922).
