| Summary | "Mark Tidd: His Adventures and Strategies" by Clarence Budington Kelland is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the titular character, Mark Tidd, and his friends in the small town of Wicksville as they encounter life, inventions, and unexpected adventures. Central to the narrative is Mark's inventive father, whose turbine project serves as a backdrop for the boys' misadventures and interactions with a diverse cast of characters. At the start of the novel, we meet the narrator, a boy named "Tallow," who recounts the arrival of the overweight, stuttering Mark Tidd and his family to town. The narrative introduces us to Mark's unique personality, his father's eccentricities, and his mother's nurturing nature. As the boys help the Tidd family settle in, they quickly form a bond with Mark, leading to light-hearted challenges, secret societies, and intriguing encounters, including a mysterious stranger showing interest in Mark's father's turbine invention. The opening sets up a whimsical tone while hinting at deeper themes of friendship and loyalty as the boys navigate childhood together in a changing world.
