Transcriber Notes:
Throughout the dialogues, there were words used to mimic accents of the speakers. Those words were retained as-is.
In three instances there were cases where the word "eat" appeared one expect the word "ate". No change was made.
The illustrations have been moved so that they do not break up paragraphs and so that they are next to the text they illustrate.
In the Appendix, the pages were reformatted to to make it easier to read in an electronic form.
Errors in punctuations and inconsistent hyphenation were not corrected unless otherwise noted.
