Work and Win; Or, Noddy Newman on a Cruise

William Taylor Adams, better known by his pen-name Oliver Optic, was a famous academic, member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives and one of the best-paid authors of his time. He wrote perhaps a thousand short stories and over 125 books, most of them for a boy audience.
"Work and Win; Or, Noddy Newman on a Cruise" is a novel, published in 1865. In this volume the author has had in his mind the intention to delineate the progress of a boy whose education had been neglected, and whose moral attributes were of the lowest order, from vice and indifference to the development of a high moral and religious principle in the heart, which is the rule and guide of a pure and true life.
The interesting and exciting story, dedicated to the basic life values, will be undoubtedly pleasant for you and your children. Enjoy the reading!
