The boys squabble about his name, the pup and Penrod's dog Duke rampage through Penrod's house, and as punishment Penrod's parents force him to wear a smelly asafetida bag. Penrod Jashber begins when Penrod's best friend Sam Williams acquires a new pup. Otherwise it is similar: it is written in the same style and takes place at the same time. Penrod Jashber is more novelistic in form than the preceding books rather than each chapter standing as a separate story, the bulk of this book has one story arc, of Penrod's pretending to be detective George B. The three novels were published together as one volume, Penrod: His Complete Story, in 1931. Initially serialized in Cosmopolitan and published in 1929, it was preceded by Penrod in 1914 and by Penrod and Sam in 1916. Penrod Jashber is the third novel in a series by Booth Tarkington about the adventures of Penrod Schofield, an 11-year-old middle-class boy in a small city in the Midwest.
