Booth Tarkington was an American novelist, dramatist and short story writer who attained enormous popularity during his lifetime. He was awarded with two Pulitzer Prizes, first in 1918, and then again in 1921. Today, Tarkington is most notable for his American boy stories, especially the Penrod books. This trilogy was extremely successful, bringing the author notoriety and financial stability, and have remained popular since their publication in the early 20th century. The first novel of the series, Penrod, introduced audiences to twelve-year-old Penrod Schofield, a young boy who like most children, gets caught up in his own elaborate lies. The results of Penrod's imaginative fabrications are usually hilarious, and especially relatable to readers for their true-to-life quality. This humorous, thoughtful story is a wonderful example of the real-life characterization and attention to detail that Tarkington is known for. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
