| Summary | "The Little Clown" by Thomas Cobb is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a young boy named Jimmy, who embarks on a series of adventures after feeling abandoned due to the lack of a guardian to meet him at the railway station. Ultimately, he runs away and finds himself in a colorful circus world, encountering a variety of characters while seeking to reunite with his elusive family members. The opening portion of the book establishes Jimmy as a nearly eight-year-old boy attending a small school. After his school term ends abruptly due to the illness of his governess, he faces the anxiety of potentially being sent to live with relatives he barely knows. As he anticipates his return home, we learn that he has never met his parents and is unsure of what his future holds. This tension escalates as he finds himself alone at the railway station when no one comes to meet him, leading him to travel to his Aunt Selina's house, setting off a chain of events that make him a reluctant adventurer in an unfamiliar world. The themes of family, belonging, and the innocence of childhood journey are seamlessly woven into his experience, enticing the reader to join him on this quest for connection and identity.
