"Toby Tyler; Or, Ten Weeks with a Circus" by James Otis is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows a young boy named Toby Tyler, who dreams of joining the circus and eventually runs away from his home to achieve that dream. As he embarks on his adventure, readers are introduced to Toby's encounters with colorful characters and the challenges he faces in a world filled with excitement and uncertainty. At the start of the story, Toby Tyler is depicted as a small, freckled boy with a big appetite and an even bigger curiosity about the circus. The narrative opens with him observing the circus preparations in his town, highlighting his eagerness and longing to be part of the spectacle. He quickly makes a deal with a candy vendor, Mr. Job Lord, to work at the circus, setting the stage for a series of adventures filled with comedic encounters and valuable life lessons. The opening portion establishes Toby’s situation at home, his relationship with his "uncle" Daniel, and his motivation for seeking a new life, hinting at the trials and tribulations that await him in the world of showmanship and wonder.
