"Teddy and Carrots: Two Merchants of Newspaper Row" by James Otis is a fictional novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story centers around two young boys, Teddy Thurston and Joseph "Carrots" Williams, navigating the challenges of selling newspapers in New York City, where they confront bullies, form friendships, and seek to establish their place amid the rough streets. The narrative captures the struggles and resilience of youth in an urban environment, evoking themes of camaraderie and perseverance. At the start of the book, the reader meets Teddy, a newcomer to the city, who is eager to make a living selling newspapers. He quickly encounters trouble when confronted by Skip Jellison, a local bully, who attacks him and causes chaos in his attempts to sell papers. The scene unfolds as Teddy tries to defend himself, while Carrots, a bootblack and potential ally, observes the conflict and decides to help Teddy. Carrots’ initiative sets the stage for their burgeoning friendship and the larger challenges they will face together in the cutthroat world of newspaper selling, with the ever-present threat of conflict with Skip looming large.
