Summary: "Digby Heathcote: The Early Days of a Country Gentleman's Son and Heir" by W.H.G. Kingston is a fictional novel written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around a young boy named Digby Heathcote, the son and heir of a country gentleman, as he navigates the challenges of childhood, family life, and mischief at Bloxholme Hall.
