(Ernest) 1874 1933 Fuhr, Ernest Skippy Bedelle His Sentimental Progress From the Urchin to the Complete Man of the World Produced by David Garcia, Emmy and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Skippy Bedelle" by Owen Johnson is a novel written in the early 20th century as part of the "Lawrenceville Stories" series. The book follows the life and experiences of a boy named Skippy Bedelle, capturing his comical and often tumultuous journey from boyhood to manhood, particularly in his interactions with girls and his inventive aspirations. The opening of the story introduces us to Skippy at the moment where he stands on the brink of adolescence, grappling with his changing views on girls, which he previously regarded with disdain. As he prepares for his compulsory bath at school, we see his internal struggle with the expectations of growing up and the intricate dynamics of boyhood friendships. The narrative brings humor to the forefront as Skippy's contempt for the opposite sex shifts toward an intriguing idea for an invention — a foot regulator for bathtubs — signaling the beginning of his sentimental education. This setup promises a blend of youthful innocence, creativity, and the trials of navigating friendships and early romantic feelings, making it a relatable coming-of-age tale.
