| Summary |
"Billy Whiskers at the Fair" by F. G. Wheeler is a children's fiction tale likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows the mischievous goat named Billy Whiskers, who recently returned to Cloverleaf Farm after exciting travels with a circus. As the Treat family eagerly anticipates the arrival of a new automobile and prepares for a day at the county fair, Billy feels neglected and plots amusing antics that promise to cause trouble and entertain readers. The opening of the book sets the stage for Billy’s humorous misadventures. It begins with the excitement surrounding the arrival of a new automobile at Cloverleaf Farm, which has captured the attention of the Treat boys, leaving Billy feeling overlooked. As the family prepares for Fair day, Billy’s jealousy and determination to join the festivities lead him to concoct plans for sneaking along for the ride. His decision to hide in the hamper filled with picnic food showcases his playful and scheming nature, while hints of his past circus experiences lend a sense of adventure. By the end of the opening chapter, Billy is poised for the excitement and chaos he is sure to create at the fair, leaving readers intrigued about his forthcoming escapades.
