Dick Randall The Young Athlete

By Ellery Harding Clark

A brisk, wind-swept tale of grit, teamwork, and upright ambition that still stirs the heart of tomorrow's champions. Dick Randall The Young Athlete offers more than a sports story; it is a window into juvenile sports fiction set at the turn of the twentieth century, where youth athletic development, discipline, and fair play shape character as surely as skill. Ellery H. Clark crafts scenes of competition and rivalry with Horatio Alger-style clarity, pairing early United States sporting aspiration with practical lessons in sport training discipline and resilience. The book invites young readers and curious scholars alike to witness a vivid illustrated sports anthology that feels both timeless and newly relevant. Historically significant as a bridge between classic athletic tales and modern youth literature, this volume preserves a snapshot of schoolyard ambition and communal values from America's turn-of-the-century era. It resonates with casual readers seeking an uplifting adventure and with classic-literature collectors who prize provenance, voice, and the aura of a bygone sporting culture. Selling points matter: 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. This is not merely a book to read, but a legacy to share in classrooms, libraries, and home shelves, where timeless sport and steadfast spirit can inspire new generations.
