Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book follows the adventures of Jasper as he learns both to obey and to command within the context of his grandfather's farm. Through a series of episodes that occur while undertaking various projects, the author illustrates insights about the dynamics of leadership, the nature of discipline, the complexity of responsibility, and the importance of appropriate authority. Readers are given a child's perspective on the challenges of authority and the struggle to understand the proper use of power. The author reveals how young people can develop the capacity to become both effective in completing tasks and respectful of the guidance of those with more experience. Although written in the 19th century, the insights into the development of responsible children within the context of familial authority remain compelling.
