cloth elegant, 3s. 6d.

Clare, the hero of the story, is a boy whose mother is killed at

kindly clergyman and his wife, who adopt him, die while he is

The narrative of his wanderings is full of interest and novelty,

animals leading him into all sorts of adventures. He works on a
farm, supports a baby in an old deserted house, finds employment
in a menagerie, becomes a bank clerk, is kidnapped, and
ultimately discovers his father on board the ship to which he
has been conveyed.
