"The Village of Hide and Seek" by Bingham Thoburn Wilson is a children's fantasy novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a merry group of children who encounter a vagabond on a sunlit day. This wanderer introduces them to a magical world where they meet fascinating characters such as 'Aunt Twaddles' and embark on an enchanting adventure filled with whimsical places and delightful creatures. At the start of the tale, a group of children is playing outside when they spot a weary vagabond seeking shade and a drink of water. After the children bravely decide to help him, he captivates them with stories of his past adventures. Among his tales is the introduction of 'Aunt Twaddles,' a kind-hearted figure who later reveals her true identity as the Queen of the Dolls, set in the magnificent Village of Hide and Seek. The vagabond and Aunt Twaddles guide the children through enchanting settings like Cake Mountain, Taffy River, and encounters with dolls and mystical beings, setting the stage for a whimsical journey that promises wonder and joy.
