First published in 1915, this is a popular story of impulsive Mickey. He disturbs thelives of a small Indiana town with his behaviour. Yet, because he accepts responsibility for his actions, his disruptions are tolerated, and even admired. Adding to the attraction of the story is an appealing rural setting.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
