Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
Aunt Hannah and Seth James Otis Books
I downloaded this book because the author was listed (and recommended) in the back of a Horatio Alger book. On checking I see he wrote Toby Tyler (Circus book) and then went through other offerings to see what looked interesting. This one, with a woman in the title seemed like it might be okayIt's more than okay.
The premise is a young boy of 11, with a lame leg (handicapped) is a newsboy in New York. One of his fellow newsies spots an advertisement looking for Seth with directions to appear in a lawyer's office. Seth cannot imagine why he's wanted. Then he looks through his pocket of change and realizes a lead nickel is gone.
Spoilers follow:
He's passed bad money and now the cops are after him!! That's the why, so he undertakes to leave the city. Friends help him get on a ferry to leave and advise him to find a spot in the country.
Seth flees, with a small white puppy he loves above all else.
Disappointment follows -- folks in the country call him a tramp!
Finally he finds a home and spot with Aunt Hannah and her niece Gladys. Snip (the white dog) loves the country, chasing butterflies and more. Seth however is out of place and scared of a big cow.
He's troubled by his conscience. Should he tell about being wanted by the lawyers for passing that bad nickel and be thrown out of the nicest home he's ever had or not? Aunt Hannah says prayers before every meal.
The cow with long horns provides milk. (I'm not country but that seemed wrong!)
There is danger (fire!) and Seth saves the day. Finally a newspaper article sets in motion the end of the book.
I'm glad I read it and look forward to reading other James Otis books.

Aunt Hannah and Seth James Otis Books Reviews
This was a very nice book. I've enjoyed several of Otis's books, and this is no exception. It is a lot shorter than a lot of his books. It's not quite a short story, but it's a quick read. I think that most children about ages 9 or 10 would enjoy it, but it's a nice book for adults, too.
