Summary "Billy Whiskers: The Autobiography of a Goat" by Frances Trego Montgomery is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Billy Whiskers, a mischievous and adventurous goat whose antics lead to a series of humorous misadventures after being brought home by a well-meaning farmer. The narration captures Billy's mischievous spirit and interactions with various characters, showcasing his escapades and adventures throughout the community. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Mr. Wagner, who brings home a goat named Billy for his children, much to their mother's dismay. Initially tied to a shed, Billy reveals his resourcefulness by chewing through his ropes and embarking on a nocturnal exploration that quickly leads to trouble in the garden. His escapades escalate as he consumes the family's lettuce and tramples the flower beds, all while evading a harried encounter with Mr. Wagner. The opening section effectively sets up the tone of mischief and fun that characterizes Billy's life as we follow him through the challenges and humorous incidents that arise from his goats' perspective.
