A Knight on Wheels

A Knight on Wheels, written by Ian Hay in the early 20th century, follows the story of Philip, a young boy raised by his misogynistic uncle, Joseph. The novel explores Philip's internal conflict as he grapples with his uncle's disdain for women, which is challenged by his encounter with a girl named Peggy. Through humor and keen observations, the narrative addresses themes of gender dynamics and the complexities of familial relationships, all while highlighting the absurdity of Joseph's fraudulent schemes to solicit donations from women.
