Summary | "The Old Man's Bag" by T. W. H. Crosland is a children's storybook written in the early 20th century. This whimsical tale is part of "The Dumpy Books for Children" series, designed for young readers. The book revolves around the humorous escapades of an old man and his bag, highlighting themes of mischief and playful encounters with a peculiar red-suited policeman. The story begins with the old man living in a wood with his wife, who uses a large bag for various purposes, leading to comic situations. On one occasion, he captures a hen, which escapes through a hole in the bag when confronted by a red policeman. The old woman's attempt to buy butter leads her into a similar dilemma with the same policeman. Throughout their amusing misunderstandings, the couple showcases a blend of cleverness and absurdity, eventually leading to the policeman having his own changes of heart as he decides to abandon his job to become a soldier. The story unfolds with lighthearted exchanges that entertain while offering a playful glimpse into the characters' lives, culminating in a humorous twist regarding the fate of the old man's bag.
