Synopsis: A great many small boys dream about running away and joining a circus, for they imagine that it would be the finest life imaginable. Toby Tyler is about a boy who did just that ... and learned a great lesson as a result.
May Lamberton Becker says in her introduction that James Otis knew there was a side to circus life which wasn't glamorous and exciting, "and he thought if boys knew how hard things might be, they might not be so anxious to leave home. So he wrote this story about ... Toby Tyler, who thought Uncle Dan'l didn't treat him right and believed what one of the circus men told him about the fine time he would have with the show. It didn't take him long to find out how mistaken he had been..."
