| Summary |
"Tiger and Tom and Other Stories for Boys" by Various is a collection of children's stories woven together with moral lessons and life principles, likely compiled in the early 20th century. These tales center around young boys and their adventures, often highlighting the importance of character, integrity, and accountability through the experiences of the main characters, such as the spirited boy Tom and his dog, Tiger. The opening of this collection introduces us to Tom, a boy with a violent temper, and his loyal dog, Tiger. As they embark on playful adventures, Tom's struggle with anger leads to a serious incident when he accidentally injures a friend named Dick. The narrative captures Tom's journey of remorse, self-discovery, and the willingness to take responsibility for his actions, as he resolves to change and make amends for his behavior. This sets the tone for the subsequent stories in the collection, each presenting its own lessons and reflections on boyhood, friendship, and moral fortitude.
