Dick Merriwell'S Fighting Chance The Split In The Varsity

By Burt L. Standish

Book Overview

A bold sprint of courage, rivalry, and honour that still sparks on every page. Dick Merriwell's Fighting Chance: The Split in the Varsity embarks readers into turn of the century america, where a young athlete's choices test ambition, ethics, and friendship in a fast-paced, classic juvenile serial. This is more than a tale of sport; it is a study in college sports ethics, rivalry and teamwork, and the fair play ethos that underpins true character. With a clear, accessible voice, Burt L. Standish crafts a story that resonates with boys adventure fiction and sporting fiction for youths, while offering the depth seasoned juvenile readers expect from the dime novel tradition. This edition is a reverent restoration and a doorway to a wider culture: it speaks to juvenile readers and boy readers today with the same fidelity the serials once did, and it invites classic-literature collectors to reconnect with a beloved american college setting and the enduring energy of classic juvenile serials. The book's value lies in its brisk plotting, its ethical confrontations, and its enduring sense of possibility; it's a window into a rich era of american literature and sport. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
