The Complete Bostock and Harris

A New York Review Children's Collection Original

The Complete Bostock and Harris combines two delightful, suspenseful, and madly funny tales about two boys in eighteenth-century England, clever and mischievous Harris and sweet but not-so-bright Bostock, who in spite of their differences are the best of friends.Â

In â€œThe Strange Affair of Adelaide Harris,â€ the wily pair put their classical education to the test when they adopt the Spartan custom of exposing infants to the wild, leaving Harrisâ€™s infant sister, Adelaide, to the elements. The boys imagine a wolf will come to nourish her, but their plan backfires.Â

It is springtime in â€œThe Night of the Comet,â€ and in the days before Pigottâ€™s comet will pass over their town, Harrisâ€™s and Bostockâ€™s thoughts turn to love: Bostock swoons over Harrisâ€™s sister Mary; Harris longs for Captain Bostockâ€™s telescope. The boys strike a deal: Bostock will make off with the telescope in exchange for Harrisâ€™s â€œexpertâ€ wooing advice. Unfortunately, that expertise is not quite what Bostock would have hoped.
