Summary "Dab Kinzer: A Story of a Growing Boy" by William O. Stoddard is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the character of Dabney "Dab" Kinzer, a growing boy from the Kinzer family, as he navigates the trials of adolescence on their Long Island farm, particularly concerning his interactions with family, friends, and the changes that come with growth and maturity. The opening of the story introduces the Kinzer farm and its setting, detailing the family dynamics and the physical growth that Dab is experiencing. As the narrative unfolds, readers meet Dab's mother, his four sisters, and Hamilton "Ham" Morris, who becomes an important figure as he prepares to marry Dab's sister. The chapter sets the scene for Dab's feelings of inadequacy due to his thinness amid a family of hearty individuals and introduces the wedding preparations where he is gifted a new suit, symbolizing both personal growth and the expectations that come with it. The tone is light-hearted yet reflective, capturing the innocence and tribulations of youth in a rustic setting. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
