A Brace Of Boys
1867, From "Little Brother"
Produced by David Widger
"A Brace Of Boys" by Fitz Hugh Ludlow is a novel written in the mid-19th century. This book presents a playful exploration of childhood and family dynamics through the eyes of a bachelor uncle reflecting on his relationships with his two nephews, the studious and timid Daniel and the more boisterous Billy. The narrative captures the contrast between the personalities of the two boys and the unique position of the uncle, who navigates the joys and challenges of guiding them without the burdens of parenthood. In the story, Uncle Teddy closely observes and interacts with his two nephews: Daniel, who is scholarly and reserved, and Billy, who is energetic and adventurous. The book unfolds as Billy's fearless nature often leads him into trouble while simultaneously highlighting his innocent bravery. The narrative progresses through various anecdotes that showcase the boys' personalities, particularly during social interactions and the innocent first stirrings of love, with both boys falling for the same girl, Lottie. As they engage in mischief, discussions, and courtship, themes of familial love, the innocence of childhood, and the complexities of growing up weave together to paint a tenderly humorous portrait of youth and relationships. The rivals in love ultimately learn to navigate their feelings, culminating in a heartfelt resolution that embodies the joy and whimsicality of childhood.
