Paine, Albert Bigelow: Elsie and the Arkansaw Bear (illus). v1. 13 Jun 2016
Elsie and the Arkansaw Bear by Albert Bigelow Paine (1861–1935)
Illustrations by Frank Ver Beck (1858–1933) First published in 1909. This book is in the public domain in countries where copyright is “Life+70” or less, and in the USA. -------------- Text and illustrations from hathitrust.org. Some illustrations are tinted with water-color wash. Embedded font for titling. -------------- Albert Bigelow Paine was an American author and biographer best known for his work with Mark Twain. He wrote in several genres, including fiction, humor, and verse, for children and adults. His most notable work was a three-volume biography of Mark Twain. This sequel to The Arkansaw Bear brings more humorous tales about Horatio, the fiddle-playing bear. Orphan Elsie, a young girl running away from her abusive Uncle Henneger, meets Horatio, and sets out with him to return to the Bear Colony in the Big Swamp Wood. Perhaps because these stories were targeted to girls, the adventures are of a gentler nature than those endured by Bosephus in the first book. The song “The Arkansaw Traveller” dominates, but is not the only melody sung by Orphan Elsie. Recommended for age ten and up. EXCERPT: Spoiler:
