Ragged Dick and Risen from the Ranks
Horatio Alger Jr.
In Ragged Dick, Horatio Alger's most successful book, Alger codified the basic formula he would follow in nearly a hundred subsequent novels for boys. It is paired in this edition with Risen from the Ranks, another coming-of-age story of a young man achieving respectability. Historical appendices include extensive contemporary reviews, material on the ""success myth", and parodies of Alger's work.
