Born to Wander: A Boy's Book of Nomadic Adventures

Two children. One caravan. A world waiting beyond the garden gate. Leonard and Effie Lyle are restless souls trapped within the boundaries of Grayling House and its wild surrounding wilderness. While the garden flowers sway outside their window, their minds wander farther still, to gypsy camps, to untamed forests, to the open road. When these imaginative siblings finally hitch their caravan to the horizon, they discover that the greatest adventure isn't just about where you go, but who you become along the way. Written in the late Victorian era, Born to Wander captures something timeless: that irrepressible childhood hunger to see what's past the next hill. Stables understood that young hearts beat faster at the thought of escape, of life lived under canvas skies. This is a book for anyone who ever circled their childhood home on a map and dreamed of crossing the line.
