This is Toby Tyler or Ten Weeks With A Circus by James Otis. To explain the insert that accompanied this volume, the inserts were place in the book and featured the NEXT months volume. So given this insert is actually for this title, Toby Tyler, the previous owner removed the insert from the PREVIOUS book received and placed it in the following months book to match the insert with the titled edition. Inserts were place in the series to let subscribers know what title was coming the following month. It is a nice touch to have the insert matching the book title as it was saved and place in the book when it arrived.

Toby Tyler or Ten Weeks With A Circus by James Otis is the exciting story of the glitter under the Big Top and the dream of running away with the circus. Toby thought he was not appreciated and life with the owner of the circus candy booth would be a dream come true with unlimited sweets! But, he soon found out how wrong he was. Without the friendship of the wise old monkey Mr. Stubbs and kind Lilly Treat, Toby life would have been cruel indeed. For 10 weeks he worked and even got to perform on a white horse as a bareback rider.... but he also longed for home.....
This edition is nicely illustrated by Leonard Weisgard with black and white sketches and a full color frontispiece.
