Summary: "The Adventures of a Three-Guinea Watch" by Talbot Baines Reed is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is told from the unique perspective of a watch, following its journey through various owners and adventures, including its experiences at a boys' boarding school and even its involvement in a battle in India. The novel primarily revolves around the watch's relationship with its various owners, particularly a young boy named Charlie Newcome, who is just beginning his journey in life as he navigates the trials of childhood and school.
