This is a charming short story about a young man who daydreams of living the good life. When he is expelled from school, his father arranges for him to go to work. He steals $2,000 from his employer and uses it to take the train to New York City. Once in the big city, he indulges in all the things he has fantasized about: fine clothes, a suite at the Waldorf, going to the theater and dining out.

This is an interesting classic tale set in the early 1900s. It has a little mystery to it, but also reveals the tight societal structures of the times. We award this classic tale with the Dove “Family-Approved” Seal for ages 12+
