Dorby was an outgoing, precocious little boy who was always into something. Hobby Dobby is the humorous and sometimes hair-raising tales of his mishaps and misadventures, from building a homemade plane with sawmill boards, to fending off a devil-dog in the dark of the night. He learns the character of people at the country store owned and run by his grandparents. The little boy grew into the man by the name of George after leaving his boyhood home. Even now, when returning to the area, he is sent back in time and still answers to ?Dorby.? His teachers knew on record his real name, but since all his cousins and kids who knew him, which was most, used the nickname, the teachers did likewise. His given name is George. The nickname was just that?AND IT STUCK! Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Hobby Dobby (George Kidd)
