Danny is an orphan with no fixed home and no adult willing to take real responsibility for him, and tells his own story in his own uneducated, occasionally unreliable voice as he drifts from one household, job, and scheme to the next across small-town and rural America.

Don Marquis published Danny's Own Story in 1912, years before he created archy and mehitabel, the free-verse cockroach and cat that would make him famous.

Bibliomancer publishes the 1912 text exactly as Don Marquis wrote it.
