Reginald Cruden
A Tale of City Life
By Talbot Baines Reed
________________________________________________________________________
I suppose this book is not so much aimed at schoolboys as most of this
author's books are, as at the young adult starting out in life. For
the story here is one almost of warning about the mistakes a young man
of good will might make in trying to find employment in a hard time.
The first job he takes is interesting because it is in a typesetting
office, which the author knew a great deal about, having inherited a
similar business from his father.
The second job is, quite unknown to the young hero, rather a shady one.
It is obvious to us, the readers, because we are allowed certain
information that Reginald could not have.
You would enjoy hearing it, or reading it if you must. NH.
