| Abstract | This book by Arthur Nelson is richly illustrated with color drawings depicting events from the life of Ethan Allen, the Nelson brothers' imaginary hero who is modelled roughly on the historical figure and who appears throughout their writings. This book introduces the reader to Ethan's wife, Mary Allen; their ten year old son, Jimmy Allen; and their nine year old daughter, Alice Allen. The story tells of battles fought as Ethan Allen rises to the presidency of Big Continent, one of the primary locations in the Nelson boys' imaginary world. The details of this imaginary world are surprisingly consistent across the many works written by the Nelson brothers, and in this story Arthur Nelson carefully refers the reader to a specific page number in another work where additional detail can be found. |
