"This book has been written for the delight not only of child- readers, but of such of their elders as like and understand small boys. Its aim has been to present a vivid and faithful picture of the daily life of the average boy from the epoch of the cave-dwellers to the middle of Queen Victoria' s reign, and to trace, by the way, the evolution of the modern attitude toward children from that of the earlier and less sympathethic periods in history."--From the author's preface.
