Barty Crusoe and His Man Saturday by by Frances Hodgson Burnett, first published in 1909. Admirers of Mrs. Burnett's "The Good Wolf" will welcome a continuation of many of its characters in "Barty Crusoe," together with a host of new ones, such as the little monkey, "Saturday," the "Perfectly Polite Pirates," and their preceptor, "Baboo Bajorum," a gorilla who made them polite! Imagine a small boy who, reading "Robinson Crusoe," was able immediately to test some of the adventures through the kindly aid of the " Good Wolf!" It is pleasant to watch the apparent ease with which Mrs. Burnett imagines the inconsequential; her description of the battle between the polite and the impolite pirates is ridiculously - spirited. Frances Eliza Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924) was an English playwright and author. She is best known for her children's stories, in particular The Secret Garden (published in 1911), A Little Princess (published in 1905), and Little Lord Fauntleroy (published in 1885-6).
