The Bad Boy at Home, and His Experiences in Trying to Become an Editor 1885 Produced by David Widger "The Bad Boy at Home, and His Experiences in Trying to Become an Editor" by Walter T. Gray is a humorous novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the mischievous protagonist, Georgie, a young boy with aspirations of becoming an editor at the fictional newspaper, the Daily Buster. Throughout the narrative, Georgie's various escapades and misadventures in the newspaper world provide both comedic and insightful commentary on society and the field of journalism during that era. At the start of the novel, Georgie provides an amusing introduction to his writing journey in the format of diary entries. He begins his experiences at the Daily Buster with a lighthearted tone, describing his ambitions and the chaos that ensues during his first interactions within the office. His humorous explorations of the roles within the newspaper—from dealing with grumpy editors and chaotic printers to attending outlandish events—set the stage for a lively account of his quest for recognition and fame in the field of journalism. The opening chapters present a blend of witty observations and slapstick situations, hinting at the delightful mischief that follows as Georgie navigates his path.
