A Story for Boys and Girls" by Marshall Saunders is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows 'Tilda Jane, a spirited little girl who has run away from an orphan asylum and is in search of a home where she can feel safe and loved. The narrative captures her adventures and misadventures as she tries to navigate a world unfamiliar to her, carrying with her both the hope and challenges that come with being an orphan. The opening of the story introduces us to 'Tilda Jane hiding in a thicket, excitedly observing the return of crows, symbolic of a new beginning. She is distinctively characterized as crafty and determined, shown through her interactions with a young man she nicknames “creamery shark.” Together, they embark on a journey, with 'Tilda planning to escape to Australia, believing there orphans are treated better than in her current home. The narrative begins to unfold 'Tilda's fears and desires, giving readers a glimpse into her character, her bond with a dog named Gippie, and her resolve to find a place where she truly belongs. As the story continues, the complexities of 'Tilda’s journey and her quest for identity and belonging will likely develop further, providing layers of both humor and poignancy.
