Publisher's Synopsis
The Young Musician is a novel written by Horatio Alger. Alger was an American author who lived in the 1800s. He wrote many, many works, over a hundred books, about how success can be attained through honesty, virtue, and hard work. Even though his plots were sometimes regarded as boring and stereotypical, Alger helped create the unique concept of striving and succeeding, part of the American Dream. While he often wrote about those unrealistic plots, Alger inspired the generations that read his works that they could succeed despite any hard circumstances.
