W. A. G.'s Tale by Margaret Turnbull
"W. A. G.'s Tale" by Margaret Turnbull is a children's novel written during the early 20th century. The book revolves around the character William Ainsworth Gordon, known as Billy, who is navigating life after the departure of his Uncle Burt. As he settles into his new home with Aunty May and Aunty Edith, the story delves into his adventures, interactions with neighbors, and the challenges he faces as a young boy growing
up in a rural setting. The opening of the story introduces readers to Billy, who has been inspired to write his own story while recovering from an illness. He shares his thoughts on his family situation, including his connection to Uncle Burt, who is away in the Philippines. With vivid descriptions of his environment, we learn about Billy's daily life, his relationships with Aunty May and Aunty Edith, and their plans to move to the countryside.
