Howard Spring was an immensely popular and successful writer, who enjoyed a large following of readers from the 1940s to the 1960s. Though somewhat neglected since his death, his books remain worth seeking out for their terrific storytelling and the quality of the writing. His approach was painstaking and professional, with a disciplined daily word count that built his substantial novels. Spring's unique voice, literary significance, and what makes his work distinctive lie in his masterful narrative craft and profound understanding of the human condition.

Die Ferien von Dick, liebevoll Purzelbaum-Dick genannt, werden zu einem unvergesslichen Abenteuer, als er zu seinem Onkel Henry in die Stadt zieht, während seine Mutter krank ist. Dort trifft er auf den zauberhaften Onkel Oswald und erlebt aufregende Begegnungen mit dem Bürgermeister, einer charmanten Dame und einem skurrilen Landstreicher. Dick versorgt die Tiere in der Tierhandlung, gewinnt einen Maskenball und tritt schließlich mit Onkel Oswald auf der Bühne auf. Seine unabsichtliche Paukenschlag-Panne sorgt für Lacher und macht diese Geschichte zu einem zeitlosen Vergnügen für junge Leser.
