This volume contains Richard Harding Davis's 1896 collection of short stories, "Stories for Boys". This delightful and profusely illustrated collection is timeless, and will be enjoyed as much by modern children as it was when first published. The stories contained herein include: "The Reporter who Made Himself King", "Midsummer Pirates", "Richard Carr's Baby", "The Great Tri-Club Tennis Tournament", "The Jump at Corey's Slip", "The Van Bibber Baseball club", and "The Story of a Jockey". Richard Harding Davis (1864 - 1916) was a journalist and author primarily remembered as the first American war correspondent to write about the Spanish-American War, the Second Boer War, and the First World War. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.
